InfoPath Dev

Anson, Question about that - can I do EXACTLY what I'm doing in my code without any code using qRules? What command would I use?

Not for content type columns.  the Delete button isn't there. 

What sort of changes did you make to the form that broke the republish?  If you have an earlier version of the form that still publishes you can start there they slowly add your changes and republish.  It is likely one of the changes you made that the method I described will pinpoint what exactly is the culprit here.

You can digitally sign a form based on sections.  So what I would recommend is putting all of your signable controls into one section that leave the one that doesn't need to be signed out.  Then go into the properties of that section and allow digital signatures.

I have an existing Forms Library and Infopath template file. All is working fine. Then I crreated a new blank Forms Library, modified (just added 2 more fields and some code) the InfoPath template pointing to the new library in Main Submit data source Saved and published that template Created 3 forms: 1st by opening local XML file and ...

Have you tried including the file as a resource of the template instead and then referring that file in code?  Go to Data tab -> Resource Files.

Nevermind, I found it. Thank you very much for your help!!!

It might work if you remove this from that first line: .Value

I believe you can just go into the settings and delete the columns from there.  Is that option not available for you?

That is the heart of the issue, yes. :)  I apologize for my long-winded question but I find if I don't explain I get answers to a question I didn't mean to ask. I am not a frequent user of this forum so again I apologize, but I do not see any attachments. What am I missing?
