Hi -- the instructions Jimmy posted before should still work:

Jimmy:
After you've added the file as a 2DS, save out the form as its source files, locate those files, and use a text editor to open the .xsd file with the name of your 2DS.
Locate the <xsd:element> node with a name= attribute that corresponds to your picture field, and change the type= attribute to xsd:base64Binary
Resave the file, right-click manifest.xsf, and select Design.

Can you perhaps elaborate on what you are having trouble with?

Any proposal from someone else?

Thank you very much in advance

Hello Jimmy,

would it be possible to give me an instruction for dummies how to implement pictures in a .XML-file like you've done before?

In summer I have to implement new emblems because there will be new teams.

Thank you very much in advance.

Cheers

Jörn

Cool. I just saw the system time in your .cab file and was suprised that it was later than here in Germany. I'd rather expected you to be in the US... :-)

Glad to help. I'm in Japan.

Super cool. Now it works.

Thank you so very much. You saved me lots of time spending on to do this with pictures I have to hide and show depending on what team is selected.

Once again, thank you so much *both thumbs up*

By the way, are you in Australia?

Thank you so much.

Unfortunately, now I have the problem that I use InfoPath 2003 and you have created the form with a newer version....I'm sorry...

Sorry, I won't made it. I simply do not understand, since I still cannot open the manifest.xsd

Now, I attached the .xml form with the teams and emblems.

Would it be possible and if so, may I kindly ask you to add this form to a new blank form and to make the changes you've proposed?

It would be so much help for me and I would realy appreciate it.

Thank you very much in advance.

You should extract the CAB to a folder on your hard drive and edit the contents there. Trying to edit the files while still inside the CAB is a bad idea.

Well, I can try to describe what I did:

After I have made the changes in the .xsd file of my 2DS, I saved it. Then, when I want to close the .cab file of my form I am told that a file was changed since I extracted the file from my form and I am asked if I want to delete it to see the archive.

When I click 'No, I don't want to delete it', I cannot open the .xsd file again.

But when I press 'delete', I do not see my changes in the .xsd file of my 2DS.

Thus, I assume that my changes are not even saved.

Then, I am trying to open the manifest.xsf

Did you delete or rename any of the files that were extracted from your form?

Re: Pictures in an XML-file?

Joern — Wed, 26 Jan 2011 07:50:56 GMT

When I right-click manifest.xsd and then select Design InfoPath opens and I get the message like "InfoPath can not open the form. The ...(.xsf) is containing an error."

In Detail: "The .xsf file refers to the file 'myschema.xsd', but this is not included in the from"

What am I doing wrong?

Many thanks for your support and patience. :-)
