InfoPath Dev

 To test existing XML, download locally, and then you can find under Form Options > Preview. I usually set versioning in the Form Options to not upgrade for this test as well, so if the schema changes involve anything that might cause a problem for existing data, I'll get an error when I preview. You can find more instructions here: ...

 Hilary, I did make several changes to both rules and fields to include the addition to one in SharePoint.  If there is a way to test to see if it will break, that would be great.  And if so, I would really like to know how to use the new form without breaking the old one using the content type method.  Thanks again for your ...

I would just delete the test records and make your current, tested site the live production site. The List IDs in the lists will not start at 1, since that field is an auto-incrementing int, but that ID field is mainly just used by SharePoint internally to identify what item you are looking at - you probably don't even have it showing in any ...

I have lists and forms tested and ready to put into production. My instinct is to use the instrument I have been working on, in the same place, and just delete all the test records I have created. When I save these things as templates and reconstitute them, there is a bit of uncertainty. In doing it I have seen some unexplained weird thinks here ...

Well - the button would just say "save" on it - it would use your submit data connection to submit the form to the library (which is what you want, right?) and then you can add a rule to close the form, which is what I was thinking you didn't like about the built in save button? Perhaps I misunderstood your question?
