Amanda,
I’m getting ready to start on a large project and thought you might know the answer to this question. First a little background to explain the situation. I work for a school district with 80+ schools. Each year our schools are required to fill out a School Improvement Plan, which is basically a detailed form. In the past they were done in word and emailed back and forth and it was a mess. This year I want to create the form in infopath 2007 and I’ll have the form saved in a sharepoint document library for each school. This way they can go back to modify, since it takes them a couple of months to complete the plan. I have that part working fine. Here is my question. To start I have created one “master” form. Each school gets a form based off the master so now my document library has 80 forms. Now all of a sudden the superintendent decides to change some of the verbiage in the School Improvement Plan. Since the forms are already saved in the document library 80 time, I have to go into 80 forms and make the change. If I were using template parts, and I made the change in the template part, would it propagate through the 80 saved form in my document library? I would really appreciate your input on this matter. Thanks

My infopath doesn’t automatically add the xml elements of my template part info the maindata source of my main infopath form. It asks to which part it should bind. (main data source is still empty)

Any Ideas?
