    Deleting a data source!

    Hey all,
    I have a question that may not be too dificult, but I can't figure it out for the life of me. I have an InfoPath form which I added a secondary data source to. It is an external XML file. I no longer want to use this file for my InfoPath solution. The problem is I can't delete it out of my form. When I'm in design view is shows up as a secondary data source, but I can't delete it! Everytime I open the form in "user" mode it looks for the XML file that I'm not even using. If the form doesn't find the "secondary" xml file, it won't open. This means I have to keep this file sitting in the folder where I directed InfoPath to look for it even though there are no controls refering to it in my .xsn form. I just want to get rid of it!! Any suggestions?
    Thanks!
    Gary

    Does Tools -> Data Connections -> Remove not work?

    If you've already done this and it still shows up in the Data Source task pane, you might have to do .xsf editing. Did you do any manual .xsf editing when you added the 2DS? When you say you "cannot delete it", what do you mean? Is the Remove button disabled or have you already removed it and it's still showing up?
