Namespace prefix "my"

[andrew53]

How do I change the namespace prefix that Infopath uses in its XML documents
from "my" to something looking more professional? Or better yet, how do I
"teach" it to only specify the namespace on the root element and not use
prefixes on other nodes in the same namespace.

Have you already tried creating your own XML document or schema and then
using the "New from XML Document or Schema..." option when creating a new
form or the "Tools > Convert Main Data Source..." menu item on an existent
form?

Of course I have. And it does work to some extent. But when I need to enable
digital signatures, IP will create them in a different namespace, and use
prefix "my" for it.
Like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?mso-infoPathSolution solutionVersion="1.0.0.1" productVersion="11.0.6565"
PIVersion="1.0.0.0" href="file:///C:\temp\bbb.xsn"
name="urn:schemas-microsoft-comffice:infopath:bbb:mynamespace"
language="ru" ?>
<?mso-application progid="InfoPath.Document"?>
<ns1:test
xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2006-01-29T15:58:03"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:ns1="mynamespace">
<ns1:a></ns1:a>
<ns1:b></ns1:b>
<my:signatures1>
<my:signatures2></my:signatures2>
</my:signatures1>
</ns1:test>

This is a limitation with InfoPath. Even if you successfully rename "my" everywhere, InfoPath will just put it back.

Hi,
when you want to change default namespace "my" , you have to do some changes
to schema.xsd file manually

Before changing,
<xsd:schema
targetNamespace="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2006-01-31T18:02:35"
xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2006-01-31T18:02:35" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

When you want change “my†to “ns0â€,

Ns0 namespace and targetnamespace should be same and you want apply this to
elements you have to put elementFormDefault="qualified" and for not
attributes you have to put attributeFormDefault="unqualified" ,

After changing
<xsd:schema targetNamespace="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
xmlns:ns0="http://xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
xmlns:xsd=http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema elementFormDefault="qualified"
attributeFormDefault="unqualified">

I hope this will help you,
