SharePoint forms library restricting # of fields from InfoPath

[c9ola]

I found a thread about how to change (I think) the restriction on number of
columns in the forms library.

Locate the control in the schema.xsd and check for the Maxoccurs or check
the template.xml whether it has only 17 rows.
You have to extract the files from the xsn to find the schema.xsd and
template.xml

Can someone explain how to do this? How does one get the extract the files
from the xsn to find the schema.xsd and template.xml?

Hello

This is not about restricting the no of columns in a table but restricting
the number of rows

Anyhow if you want to extract the files , Open the XSN file you have in a
design mode and then in the file menu select Extract form files to a folder
locally.
Open the folder and view the xsd and template xml

Thank you, Kalyan. I did find how to extract the files and I did get that it
was talking about rows, not columns. Do you know if there is any setting
that can be changed that controls the restriction of the number of fields
passed in form an InfoPath form into a SharePoint forms library? Or is this
something we just have to live with (and accept). Thanks.

Hello

Did you mean to control showing of Promoted fields in the sharepoint form
library?
Can you give me more details.

My InfoPath form has about 30 checkboxes for the user to make selections
from. SharePoint will only show the first 15 in the form's library view. I
hope I'm saying that right. I thought there may be a way to increase that
number.

Thank you, Kalyan. Looks like I have to live with the restrictions.
