I've been working for some months designing an InfoPath 2007 form to use as a digital inspection form for state regulatory inspectors. Over time, the form has become very complex with twenty five views. The form was working great and everything was fine until I modified one particular view by combining it with another. This view contained a large layout table with smaller tables nested within it containing text and text boxes. The nested tables are inside of sections that are conditionally formatted to hide or show depending on certain data from other views.
When I was completing my work on that view, I noticed that when I changed the font in several of the nested tables that are within sections, the font would change back by itself when I switched views or switched to "preview". Then, as I was changing the sizes of some sections, some of the section contents - text and text boxes, would get "bumped" out of the section and end up just below, with the binding lost on the text boxes. Also, in some of the tables, the borders will change from black to blue or disappear altogether, leaving the contents loose on the form in a jumble.
I have experimented with deleting many of the text boxes, thinking that the form's complexity had exceeded the software's ability, but it still has the same problems. I've also opened up the form on a different computer and that doesn't make a difference either.
I've done a good bit of research online and I haven't seen this reported anywhere else.
