Hi Ram321,

You probably don't want to hear this, but designing a form from a database is not a good idea. Use a Web service. There are issues ... believe me. I'm not just trying to sell our DBXL Web service either.

Some limitations:

Can't use with browser-enabled forms when SQL on a different server
Can't use with XML data types (like images and rich text)
Changes to DB or XSN render previously saved XMLs invalid (not an issue if you disable save)
Doesn't work in an extranet scenario
etc.
