Can I change the data in a System XML file?

R

roliver99

I have an InfoPath application that has a secondary data source that is an
XML file on the user's local workstation. I need to be able to change some
of the the data in this XML file, but I don't seem to be able to do so. Does
anyone know if this is possible? Some of the InfoPath documentation makes it
sound like I can do this, whereas some make it sound like this is not
possible.

Here's my setup:
- I'm doing my coding in C# (VS 2003) with InfoPath 2003 SP2
- My users often work in an offline state
- So I've created a local copy of the Product Book as an XML file on their
harddrive
- The XML file is at c:\LocalProductBook
- I have a corresponding Secondary data source in the InfoPath solution
- I have it set to NOT be a Resource file in InfoPath
- I have it set to NOT Automatically retrieve data when form is opened
- If the file is old, I need to be able to refresh it from a Web Service
- The Web Service is also a Secondary data source in the InfoPath solution

I'd sure appreciate your help
