Error opening form in design mode

J

J Tomko

I was working (for several hours) yesterday on a form containing multiple
views. When I try to re-open the file I get this error:

The form definition (.xsf) file contains elements, attributes, or structures
that are not valid.

Error details:
The keyref 'ruleSet_29' does not resolve to a key for the Identity
Constraint
'{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/solutionDefinition}ruleset_name_key'.

Line 611, Position 3
</xsf:xDocumentClass>

Any suggestions for how to fix this file so I can open it and get my work
back would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. (running XP Pro, have created
hundreds of InfoPath forms on this machine)

Hello,

you can extract the files from the xsn. The xsn is nothing more than a .cab
file. If you rename it to .cab you can extract the files with PowerArchiver
or Winzip or a similar program.

Then, examine the .xsf file at that position, if there is anything wrong...

I have followed the instructions in this email, but can't figure out how to
repackage the CAB so the modified XSF becomes part of the template.xsn.

When I try to add a file back to the CAB, Winzip chokes on it.

Thanks for any help.

Hi Deb:

I am having the same problem and would like to know what you learned. I
couldn't locate the response you may have received.

RE: creating a .cab from the unzipped content.

Thanks
Mike
