I changed one small thing in my form template. It was just a change to the
name of a column. I had a view based on that column with a filter on it so I
also had to change the name of the view. I have about 13 individual forms
based on the template. After making this change and trying to merge the
forms, only 2/13 will merge. For the rest, I get the following error:

The XML Schema specified for this form could not be identified.

I don't know what to do to fix this problem. Any ideas?

You cannot change a field name in your data source or it will break all
existing forms based on the template since the data and the template no
longer match.

Thank you. Is there anything I can do to fix the problem? What I don't
understand is that 2 out of the 13 forms merge without any problems. Why
didn't all the forms get affected? When you say field name, I'm assuming you
are talking about the field that has the binding on it? I tried to recall
what the previous binding field name was so that I can go back to it but I
couldn't figure this out.

I right clicked the field I had changed and I selected "check box properties"
and changed the name back to what it was (I finally remembered). Now 11/13
forms merge but the two that previously worked are now the two that won't
work once I changed the name back. Any idea what's going on here? Any
solutions?

It is obvious you have forms with different schemas.

You will need to probably redo the two so that they are all matching.
