Hello,

I am trying to use a sample (Purchase Order) form as a starting point, as the main data source is pretty much what I need.  The template is a 2003 version, so I extracted the form files, and created a new form based on the schema file I extracted.

Regardless if I open the original 2003 or the new form, my controls in the main data source don't let me make changes.  They have a small lock in the top-right corner of the icon.

Is this normal?  Is there any way to change this?

Thanks!

If you base a form off an existing schema, the schema will be locked. Can you save the IP 2003 form as a different version and work from there?

It doesn't seem to matter what I do, those fields are still locked.  What a crazy thing to do.  Is there any way to "copy" the schema but be able to make changes?  How frustrating.

You'd have to make edits to the form files - really, it would be faster just to re-create the schema from scratch in the data view task pane in a new blank form.
