Save a copy of the form, and save as source files. Create a new form using the SQL DB you want to use for your main database connection, and then you&amp;#39;ll be able to compare the manifest.xsf files to see what you have to change.</description></item><item><title>Convert UDCX connection to standard SQL connection in existing form</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/116139.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 26 Apr 2017 17:39:42 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:116139</guid><dc:creator>CCBSMF</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/116139.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=116139</wfw:commentRss><description>Hey Everyone. I have an older form that utilizes a UDCx for it&amp;#39;s main connection. I was able to remove the secondary connections and re-add them as standard SQL connections. But the Main Connection I cannot remove and re-add. 

I was hoping that I can convert the UDC into a standard SQL connection by accessing the manifest and rewriting the XML to match that of a SQL connection. Is this option viable? or do I have to recreate the entire form?

Any suggestions are welcome! :)

Quick notes: IP 2010. Using old UDCx connections to SharePoint but want to use standard SQL db connections. Very comfortable with XML editing and compositions.</description></item></channel></rss>
