I let the wizard create new columns. The metadata is present when editing the document.

When you promoted those fields, did you let the wizard create new columns for you, or did you match them up with existing columns in your form library? When you try to edit your document, your metadata is present?

All the fields are single line of text. All of them show read-only in Sharepoint dataview.

Hi, no it doesn't matter.

What kind of field you use ?

That is what I would expect. However, it shows 'Read only' for the Sharepoint list. Does it matter that we have Excel 2003 and InfoPath 2007? Or is there a setting in Central Admin that is required?

Hi, if you talk about the option "Allow user to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page", it allow you to modify the field in the Sharepoint list, and with Infopath.

When promoting fields in the publishing wizard, you have the option to allow editing in dataview. Does this mean that you can edit in the list's dataview or do you need to create a dataview web part in Sharepoint Designer?
