I can&amp;#39;t change them in SharePoint unless I make them editable and I don&amp;#39;t want to do that unless absolutely necessary.   I have changed the field types in the infopath form and &amp;#39;upgraded&amp;#39; the form.  This did not change the column types after I upgraded it on SharePoint.  So I did a full publish and upgraded it on SharePoint.   This did not change them either.

&lt;p&gt;Is there any way short of deleting the library and recreating it to upgrade the column types in my form library without making them editable?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
