Re: 2013 InfoPath Merging Issue

Thanks Patrick - Yes, I've been trying to use the file / merge feature. In 2013 it's file / share / merge, but still the same thing.

It looks like the system is "unhappy" with the repeating section, but I could be wrong.

I will try to duplicate this issue on this computer. I am unable to do a transfer from where I'm working.

Thanks.

Hi RocketGirlOT and thanks for posting.

Are you using the rare and rather undocumented File->Merge feature? If so, are these both the same InfoPath 2013 version or are they earlier?

Please attach your XSN form along with the XMLs you are trying to merge and we can take a deeper look. Should be easy to fix the XSLT mapping.

Thanks!

Hi.

I'm working with InfoPath 2013. The file is saved on my desktop.

I'm getting the error "Microsoft cannot merge data from the following form: [form name]

An error occurred

Catastrophic Failure

Yet when I check for design errors it says I'm good. Any ideas? Thanks!
