MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / January 2007Manifest.xsf and other files
I know how to extract the files that are in the .xsn file. But I have questions concerning changes made to the manifest.xsf and other files. 1. When I save the form in InfoPath design view are the changes in the files automatically put back into the template..xsn? 2. When I open the template will the manifest and other files that I extracted to my hard drive get extracted or updated automatically? 3. Will I need to extract them each time I open the form in design mode? Thanks.  SignatureMarshall Harrison Microsoft MVP - Office Communications Server Email: marshall@GotSpeech.Net Web: www.GotSpeech.Net Blog: http://gotspeech.net/blogs/marshallharrison/default.aspx Once extracted, you open the manifest.xsf to work on the extracted files or work directly on the extracted files. The old XSN will not be updated. All files linked to the manifest.xsf will be updated. Once you're done, you open the manifest.xsf, and in InfoPath you publish your form template. This will repackage the extracted files into an XSN. If you want to work on extracted files again, you will have to re-extract the files from the latest repackaged XSN and do the same thing all over again. --- S.Y.M.

Then you can keep the extracted files for editing and the xsn as the released form. This is particularly useful if you wish to use a source control system as you can then see the differences in each file when it is as extracted source files. cheers Bruce Thanks for the help. I will get started on this as soo sa I put out some fires.
