Updating Resource Files

Recently I developed my first form which used a custom Task pane.  

It took me quite some time to get some of the javascript in my task pane
correct due to the complicated nature of the xpath queries etc.  

One of the most annoying things that I found was that, as I was trying to
get my javascript right I had to be contunually removing and re-adding the
resource files (to get the latest versions of the .htm and .js files).

It would be nice if you could  have an option of "refreshing" resource files
for unpublished forms.  This would have saved me a lot of time as I was
trying to get those damned xpath queries right.

You might find it more convenient to work with the extracted form files (see the File menu) rather than a .xsn file. This will allow you to modify the task pane and javascript files without needing to constantly readd them. Then when you have them right, just save as an .xsn file.

Thanks Greg... I'll look into that tonight.
