On Your Own

Here’s an additional exercise for opening an InfoPath sample form, completing it, changing form views, and then merging it with another form:

  1. Start InfoPath, and open the sample Resume form.

  2. Fill in some test data, and then save the form to \My Documents\InfoPath\Resume\Resume1.xml.

  3. Use the View menu to switch between different views of the Resume1 form.

  4. Use the Fill Out A Form task pane to complete a new sample Resume form.

  5. Add different test data, and then save the form as Resume2.xml in the same folder.

  6. Open Resume1.xml, and merge it with Resume2.xml.

  7. Examine the results of the merge, and optionally, save the merged form as Resume1&2.xml.

  8. Exit InfoPath.
