 Thanks Laurie. I'll give that a go.

So if you promote the fields in the form published to library 1 (you wouldn't have to display them in the view) what happens in 1a? Honestly, I'd probably be using a content type for this so that you could have just one form, published as a content type, activated to all the libraries and then set up your views to show only the columns you ...

 Yes, it is library 1a where the data isn't showing.  Form/Template 1a is published to that library, but - upon submission - it's really form 1 that is opened up in all of the libraries.  I'm not sure about the definition on linked in the situation since, technically, form 1a is the template published to library 1a, BUT ...

So - it is library 1a where the fields don't get populated? in library 1 they do? Are the XML in library 1a linked to the template in 1a? They aren't, right? They are just submitted to 1a. What happens if you relink one of the forms in 1a (under the Relink view in the library)?

I do have this scenario for a browser enabled form. I added two additional fields to my form, one to hold a the current formname (file name as appears on SharePoint)  and one to hold a hyperlink to the form. I also added a button with a rule.  Field 1: "oldform_name"  is a empty text field to hold what will ...

 Looks like the screen capture isn't showing so here's the other in attachment form.

 Hello again, I looked in the library settings and there are no duplicates.  That would have been nice if it was that easy.  I've found the promoted columns in the manifest and the columnId in the other section.  My assumption is that I then need to get the GUID of the column from sharepoint to compare?  ...

I have a similar scenario... maybe this is purely a post-back or network issue.  My form is browser enabled.  The submit to SharePoint needs to 'overwrite' if exists because many users will open the form and save it using a button, instead of the ribbon.  I ran across an issue where, I'm validating who has the ...

If you look at your library columns under settings, are there duplicated promoted properties? I've seen that happen too. In the manifest, the promoted fields are found here: /xsf:xDocumentClass/xsf:listProperties/xsf:fields and the actual columns are here: ...

 Hi Hilary! Thank you for the reply.  I think I followed the steps you mentioned correctly, but didn't see the data populate in the sharepoint when I had one of the forms open.  Just to confirm, I opened one of the forms, while it was open, I refreshed the library and still didn't see ...
