All,

I have an existing InfoPath form I'm enabling with IBF.  The forms' XML schema is generated from connecting a SQL DB datasource, which contains the table name as the top level element, and each of the columns as attributes.  The InfoPath/IBF sample contains an InfoPath form whose schema is a top level element with many subelements, which can then map to separate entities in IBF for context tracking.  Will the IBF connectivity work for the attributes (which effectively represent various fields on the infopath form), or do they need to be elements?  If so, will my current implementation pass one large element containing all the attribute values each time focus is changed?

Is there a way to modify my infopath schema (which is generated from the DB) to use sub-elements rather than attributes to represent the different fields?  I read that infopath forms driven from a database cannot have their schema modified since it was auto generated.

Thanks in advance
