Ok, this is driving me insane. I created an Access database, and I use
Infopath as my form. The form is completed and the data is submited in the
access database.
The problem is, everytime I have a small change to the database, Infopath
does not recognize it and I have to re-make the form completely.

THERE HAS TO BE A SOLUTION OUT THERE!. I'm sure, there is something that
will automatically update the changes.

Thanks

Hi,

The bottom line is that the database should be designed correctly,
properly taking into account your business needs. So changes to the
database *ought* to be rare.

However .... if you go to the Tools menu, select Data Connections and
click on the Modify button you may well find what you need. :)

What did you think was "sad"?

Did you read the second part of my answer and look at the
functionality there?
