InfoPath Dev

I created a form, with a field lets say name. I published the form. I removed this field later from the sharepoint list and when I added it again calling it name and then published. But inforpath automatically it called the field name0, Why is this? The field is now no longer viewable in the list even when I goto modify views.

If you want to get rid of the field/data source completely, you'll have to open Data Source in the Design Tasks pane, find the field, and then remove it. Keep in mind, however, that doing so will remove any connections that data source has with a field in your form.

I'm not sure if that's what you were asking for, but I hope it helps.
