I am trying to add a column to an existing Form Library. I've opened the
template (InfoPath), went to Tools, Form Options, Form Library Columns, and
added the column; saved the template. The column is added to the form
library however the data in the field from the form is not showing up in the
column.

Relink does not show any forms that need to be relinked.

Do I have to re-publish the template to get the data to show up in the newly
added column?
Thanks in advance!
Marty

Hi Marty,
Relink only shows forms that are not part of the form library (i.e. were
copied from another form library etc.). What you'll need to do is resave
back all of the XML forms so that they will be properly shredded. If you
have a lot of forms, this can be a hassle. If you find yourself taking a lot
of time doing this, you may want to evaluate the cheap tool at

Good luck,
Patrick
