MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / January 2006user edit of secondary data source xml files?
Is there some way to allow users to edit the content of secondary data source xml files? Thanks, Keith Hi, One way to edit the secondary data xml files is: 1. Open the InfoPath form in design view. 2. Go to Tools->Resource files. 3. Select the Xml File which u want modify/edit in the Resource Files window. 4. Click on “Export” and give/select the location to which u want to export it. 5. Open the same xml file from the above location to which u exported in previous step. 6. Edit it as u require. And add it to the resource file with the same name as before. 7. And check your form by previewing. I think this what u want? I hope this will solve u'r problem.

In this application, the user needs an InfoPath form that he can use to edit secondary data source information. For example, a form contains a drop-down list of company locations that is populated from a secondary data source. When the company adds or changes a location, the user must change the information in the drop-down list. Thanks, Keith What I need is a user-friendly way that the user can edit a secondary xml file, using an InfoPath form. > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] >> >> Keith Have you thought about using a SharePoint list for the drop-down contents instead of an XML file?
