Re: specify the location for the "dynamic" XML file

Hi:

Would just adding the XML file as a resource to be included with the form template solve this? This link from Microsoft Office Online explains more about resource files: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath/HA100738031033.aspx

In InfoPath 2007, when you add a data connection that receives data from an external XML file, you can click the Resource Files button in the screen of the Data Connection Wizard that has the text field for the location of the XML file. That button will open the Resource Files window, where you can add your XML file, like the EventCAML.xml from the sample you were looking at.

specify the location for the "dynamic" XML file

When you add a data connection that receives data from an external XML file, you generally have to specify the location for the XML file - specifically if it's dynamic.

Goofy question, but where, for instance, to place it on Sharepoint server location when used as a Web Service shown in: http://enterprise-solutions.swits.net/infopath2003/programmatically-add-item-sharepoint-2003-calendar-infopath-2003-script.htm. My working example currently is pointed to my local drive/subdirectory. The Web Service is stored in : //_vti_bin/Lists.asmx">http://<Server>/<Site>/_vti_bin/Lists.asmx. Where do I stored the "dynamic" reference when I publish this to a Sharepoint portal - UNC reference, etc. ?

Thanks - Gene
