InfoPath Dev

Hi All,

    I'm new to InfoPath and trying to understand its versioning intended functionality.... 

What i'm trying to grasp/understand is why form updates are retroactive for submitted email forms? 

The scenario of concern is that a form that was generated/submitted in a previous period should still reference its original secondary data. For example: a drop down list of employees.  Currently it appears that if the form templates secondary data is updated so is the employee list in already previously generated/submitted forms.

I've tried: Form Options > Versioning > Update Existing Forms > Do Nothing; with no luck.....

I appreciate any insight you can provide,

That's because you are using the same name for the new versions so it is automatically updating.

If you changed your form's name to Name_v2 and published it would not try to upgrade the first. This is known as "side-by-side" versioning and is a good technique for doing what you want.

We have a training module on this as part of our master class. Next date for the online class is November 12th-15th. We'd love to have you join us.
