Hello,  i have created a "infopath-" input mask with a lot of input fields. Many of these fields (and so the tags in the xml-file) can be empty - the user must not fill them out. When i export the the mask to a xml-file the empty fields are also exported to empty tags. I know that this is allowed in xml - but it is not very ...

No one can´t help? Please... Is it possible that i have "variables (elements, attributes...)" but these variables are not exported to XML. E.g. i need some variables to calculate an index. Empty elements and attributes are exported, too. How can i avoid this - or can´t i do this? Best regards Tom  

I´ve found a solution: views - so easy:)

Hello, i have a very long form. It would be nice for the users that the sections in the form are seperated by sliders (in Germany: Reiters). Is this possible? Best regards cu Tom

Hmmm - that sounds not very comfortabel. If the schema is changing then i get a lot of problems... Can you or someone else can please help me with the other question: Is it possible that i have "variables (elements, attributes...)" but these variables are not exported to XML. E.g. i need some variables to ...

Hello, i´ve made my first little Form with IP (manually add fields - not xsd-schema-based). After the exporting there is a "Microsoft"-namespace in the top of the XML-File. Something like that: <my:codeBook xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" ...

That was a extrem good tip (manually add fields). I think i will do this:)  The created XML-Files will be inserted into a database. Then published as html or pdf.... Some institutions in germany will change data-information-docs based on ddi - that is the main reason. So - enough for today. Many thanks for your help and see you next ...

Hello Hilary, the XSD isn´t created by Visual Studio. It´s a schema by the DDI-Foundation: http://ddi-alliance.cvs.sourceforge.net/*checkout*/ddi-alliance/ddi/w3c/Version2-1.xsd?revision=1.10 The DDI-Foundation is: The Data Documentation Initiative is an international effort to establish a standard for technical documentation describing social ...

Hello Hilary, then i have to change the XSD many times. . . Oh. . . I have no influence in designing the imported xsd. But at all i think i must adapt the whole xsd - is it normal that i must do this? Another question: When i export a filled in form to a xml-file then all the empty attributes and elements are also exported. In the datasource ...

Hello Hilary, the table is actually bound to a table. Everything is normal.  Here is the XSN-File: http://www.file-upload.net/download-957955/Horchstein.xsn.html  It has only one repeating section. The underlining XSD is the DDI2.1-Schema - if you know that. What is wrong with the XSD?  Many thousand thanks to you:) Best ...
