I have no idea if this bug has been brought to light before, nor of its
severity, just its existence.

Platform: Infopath 2003 Service Pack 2

Creation Conditions:
- Create a form using a database as a datasource
- Tools -> Data Connections -> Modify

Have a root table set up with 3+ foreign keys.  When you go to add/link the
tables via those keys, if you start with the bottom table and move up, the
numbering of the new tables will remain at 1

i.e.

RootTable
PKey
FKey1
 AddTbl3 [is named "Subtable_1 (Database.dbo)"]
FKey2
 AddTbl2 [is named "Subtable_1 (Database.dbo)"]
FKey3
 AddTbl1 [is named "Subtable (Database.dbo)"]

Since FKey1's table was added last, it should have been named "Subtable_2
(Database.dbo)", as happens if you add them in top-down order (FKey1 first,
FKey3 last).  I did not test how this affects the references, if it does at
all (lack of time), but thought I would point this out.

Thanks

For further clarification:

The actual key setup I used that caused the problem was:

MainTable
   SubTable1
       SubTable4_1
   SubTable2
       SubTable4_1
   SubTable3
       SubTable4

Which should have been:

MainTable
   SubTable1
       SubTable4_2
   SubTable2
       SubTable4_1
   SubTable3
       SubTable4

Upon re-adding the keys in a top-down order rather than botom-up I DID get:

MainTable
   SubTable1
       SubTable4
   SubTable2
       SubTable4_1
   SubTable3
       SubTable4_2

Just in case...
