InfoPath Dev

Yes I have and that did not work unfortunately.

Relink option was moved to Relink View and then Relink All in 2010 (great that they added the Relink All) . You can use check-in/check-out in 2010 to refresh promoted properties. In addition, there are tools, like DBXL's Doc Deployer that you can use to batch resave. DBXL trial is free and Doc Deployer can be used to batch re-upload ...
