Thanks Hilary for your response.

After removing fields one at a time I thought it better just to design and publish a new form.

Thanks for your input!

Well, I'm assuming by now you've probably figured this out, sorry to be so slow to reply. But I'd assume you could remove the promoted property and re-add it when publishing the form?

The column named "..." must be removed or modified.

Hello,

I created an InfoPath form that collects monthly hours and calculated as percentage of total hours worked based on other variables (not important to mention here) and stored the form data in SharePoint form library.

The monthly calculations were based on whole numbers. Everything worked fine; however, the numbers did not represent the actual data input. The manager realized that partial/fractional (decimal) figures would better represent the data. So the form was changed so all hourly data and calculations and percentages would be decimal numbers.

When I attempted to publish the form (to SharePoint) I received the following error:

“The column named "KTLO JAN Hours Worked" must be removed or modified. The column's data type or its data source field has changed since this form template was last published to the server running SharePoint.”

Is there a way to fix this issue (and other similar issues) without creating a new form library (the existing form library has a lot of data)?

FYI, I am using the 2010 versions of SharePoint and InfoPath.

Any help/information would be greatly appreciated!
