sharepoint data source does not show added columns

[jdwinohio]

My form references a sharepoint list as a secondary data source. when i add
columns to the list, they do not appear as fields in the data source. cannot
find a 'refresh data source' button

Yeah...I have found that annoying too that there is no refresh button.
I have to go to the data source, press modify and press next all the
way through for the changes to be picked up.

you say "...go to the data source" pls explain? Where do you "press
modify.."? Infopath? Sharepoint?

I found this in the online help"
"The structure and properties of existing fields or groups in the data
source cannot be modified. In primary data connections, however, you can add
fields or groups to the root group in the data source."
This leads me to believe that for each chnage or added field in the list
that you want to include in the form, you must create a new data source.
