cnorris135:got a question as I am not sure this
is a bug or not with the tool. I am setting up the Mapping... or
trying to... and was wondering if I missed something..... in the Fields
there are two columns
Column Name which is the spreadsheet column
Node Xpath which is the temple info...... there is a little icon
that i click right next to the Node XPath field (brings up the Form
Template Schema Tree). I click the field i need but I thought it would
populate Node Xpath field....it doesn't. Do I need to go to the
original template form and copy the path from there? Why doesn't this
icon seem to work?
You don't need to open the original template. Under General Settings, there is a file attachment control for Template XSN. Is your XSN attached there? If so, then, under Mapping > Root, you would click the icon (if you hover your mouse over the icon it will say "Select Schema Node"). Clicking the icon brings up a taskpane with the form schema. Here you will double click on the root node for your schema, for example, my:Fields.
Then under Fields > Node XPath, you would again click the icon to bring up the schema in the taskpane, and there double click the individual fields to map.
If you've followed all the steps above and you are not seeing this expected behavior, please let us know via [email protected].

also... with the saving of this template, i wanted to mention that this form has qRules + validated (required fields) so I could never submit it unless I filled it out.
To obtain the template.xml you don't need to Submit. Just Save (File > Save or File > Save As). I think InfoPath allows saving even if there are blank required fields.
