repeating table xmlToEdit error message

Doreen — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 23:08:50 GMT

I have a repeating control in View 1 that I copied into View 2. Then I removed some controls in the repeating table in View 2. In the course of messing with repeating control in View 2 - I managed to remove the binding of all controls in the repeating table on View 1. I rebound them but still get the following error message. The bolded portion is the official name of my repeating table control (Main data source) on View 1 and View 2 but the underscore# portion ( _565) does not match the xmlToEdit in the property of the control in each view. The error references a different underscore#.....how do I fix this? (The viewContent is the same CTRL406 for both)

View 1, xmlToEdit: rtblEstimatedCostsTable2_B4_2513

View 2, xmlToEdit: rtblEstimatedCostsTable2_B4_167

The error message:

InfoPath cannot open the following view: B - Estimated Cost Worksheet
The form definition (.xsf) file has an error on the following element or attribute: xsf:xmlToEdit
Error: The following attribute value is incorrect:container in the xmlToEdit element with name = "rtblEstimatedCostsTable2_B4_565"

----

UPDDATE 1:

I extracted the manifest.xsf file and found several occurances of _565 control (below). It looks like the first occurance has a strange character at the end of the container attribute.

1) I changed the container value to be the same as the item value, then saved the file which updated my cab and thus my xsn file. BUT now I CAN NOT open the modified template.xsn in Design mode nor can I open the cab file (it just won't open to all the files anymore). I must've saved my manifest.xsf changes incorrectly? Anyway now I get ERROR MSG 2 shown below.

How do I fix this?

ERROR MSG 2:
The following file is referenced in the .xsf file but is not part of the form: myschema.xsd.

Update: I ended up starting over from a backup copy of my template (losing a day's work) as I couldn't resolve this issue. Every fix I did created a new problem.
