I have no idea how it happened but there were some bad characters inside the manifest.xsf file. This file is auto generated, so unless you went in there and added these I am not sure how it happened to be honest lol. The characters were embedded into Xpath references (for future references if this happens again).

I attached the fixed template.

The last thing I was working on was trying to create a function which would populate a control in a repeating table (my:item) based on the value of the DDL (my:category). I haven't done anything with the data connection since I set up a secondary connection. That was a while ago.

I am pretty clueless with this software, so I may not know if I had done something to trigger it.

Do you know what you changed the last time you worked on it? Any new data connections? things like that.

Could someone please help me? I created a form that is almost finished. But when I tried to open it today in Design Mode, I received the error message "InfoPath has encountered an error. The operation failed."

I am completely new to InfoPath. My organization doesn't use it and I was hoping to use this project as a stepping stone to bigger things. I can't afford to lose any more time on it. I am desperate to get it delivered. I am going to try and rebuild from the xml schema but would be forever grateful if someone can find my error. I have attached the .xsn file.

Thanks!
