MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / May 2006Easy Question
I have an form that represents an xml document. I have created a form that edits certain fields in the file. How do I open up the form and then the corresponding xml document w/o doing the Merge document, if there are no processing instructions ever in the xml document? Thanks, Eric Create a blank form with your new template, and save it. Then open that saved .xml file in Notepad, copy all of the processing-instructions and paste them into your existing .xml file that you want to open in InfoPath. Now you can just double-click the udated existing .xml file and it will open in InfoPath.

Once I have made the changes in Infopath, I want to save the xml document w/o those processing instructions also. Is there a way to do that? Thanks, Eric Create a blank form with your new template, and save it. Then open that saved .xml file in Notepad, copy all of the processing-instructions and paste them into your existing .xml file that you want to open in InfoPath.

I believe there is a way in code to strip out the PIs when you save, but it might cause issues if you don't also close the form at the same time. You'll have to dig a little into this and experiment to see if you can do it.
