There can be more elements in the data source than controls on the form.<br /><br />Check to see if you have removed it also from the data source in design mode and resave.<br /><br />MBhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/18023.aspxSun, 13 Aug 2006 20:44:34 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:18023Bilal0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/18023.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&PostID=18023hi guys,<br />im developing an application where i have to parse the sample metadata in a form to find how many fields are there.<br /><br />the problem is : if i design a form with 3 textboxes and save it. the meta data shows 3 tags.<br /><br />but if i open the .xsn file in a designer again and remove a textbox<br />the metadata would still have 3 tags.<br /><br />what info path does is just remove the html for the deleted textbox from <br />the default view file.
