    Promote Add'l Fields - Missing Existing Data

    Hello,
    I have created a Resume Infopath Form library. There are approximately 50 fields on the InfoPath form. When this form was first released to everyone, I went to Tools - Form Options - Form Library columns and selected 5 fields to become available on the Sharepoint site.

    Since that time, employees have been filling out their resume and submitting to the form library.

    We now need to make more fields available (e.g. 15 out of the 50 fields). However, after I make this change, the data that currently sits within each employee's form is not being viewed on the SharePoint list. It is blank. Any ideas on how to get this data to appear since the employee has already filled out the form?

    Thanks for your help,
    Colleen Scout

    This isn't the best solution, but if you physically move the form files out of the library and then back in again, it will trigger Sharepoint to extract the information from the form again and populate the columns in your views.

    If you have a lot of forms this could be a bit of a problem (i.e. slow) and of course this will change the last updated information on every file.

    If anyone has a better solution, I'd love to here it.
