We have a bunch of story libraries in Sharepoint 2003 for all of our different projects. We created a nice Stories Library with a bunch of useful views in Sharepoint. Then I exported it from Sharepoint designer and I use that template to create a library for each new project.
The problem is, the Infopath template always has the same ID. So when you open a story from a different project, you get a ‘Form Template Conflict’ in InfoPath. The only way I found around this is to upload the form template to a Library of a unique name (this changes the Form template ID). But the problem with this is when I create a new, unique library I lose all the cool useful views which were included when I exported the Library.
I tried changing the ID: Form Template Conflict – Same Form ID When Copying Template
But this didn’t work, when I published it, it reverted back to the generated one.
Thanks
