1)well update forms automatically will update the forms automatically no need to worry about that.

2)well adding a field inside a repeating table is ok as well.

3) when you open the archieved form it will refer to the latest template

Possible Problems when updating published template

Hi all,

I am currently working on a project, which is already running productive. I have some questions which I think maybe helpfull to other users as well

1. The form is already published. But new requirements rise every day, so I the template is being updated/changed almost every week. In the form options I have selected "update forms automatically", which should update all the existing forms in the library. Up to know I am pleased with the result but I see there are a lot of issues related to this topic.

2. From experience I know that when the template is changed, fields should not change names, nor should be deleted or moved within the schema. I know also that adding field, formatting and altering rules is not a problem, and all the existing forms are updated. What about adding a field whithin a repeating table? Would it be ok as well? My opinion is yes but I hope someone else can back me up.

3. When archiving ( i mean simply taking the forms down form the SP library to a the network driver) and a change on the template has taken place. And I need later to open some archived field, will it be able to open (pointing to the right location, but the form is not the same version)?

I will be very glad if someone shares his knowledge about this questions.

Regards,

Slav
