Scenario: In my scenario, I have a SharePoint 2010 Custom List with number of SharePoint Custom Columns with People Group/Lookup Fields. I have customized the List form with InfoPath 2010 form. I have made number of data connections in InfoPath form for retrieving the different List data in lookup columns.We used stsadm Import/Export commands to migrate from test to staging server. Problem 1 : When I migrate the list from test to staging server with the attached InfoPath form. List migrates along with InfoPath but the list data is missing. Problem 2 :When I remove the InfoPath form template from the List and save the infopath form template to my file system.Then the List Data migrates to my staging server from test.Now I want to re-associate the saved infopath form template to the list in staging server I am unable to do so.Kindly suggest the solution.

Query : Also if you can suggest any other approach to deploy incremental functionality to infopath forms attached to list from test to staging server.
