Sharepoint Infopath Form Libraries, Data Sources, and Folders

I'm attempting to use Infopath Form Library as a data source for an
Infopath Form I'm developing. The Form connects to the Library
correctly, but will not pull down any records that are in folders
within the Library. Does anyone know how I can get the form to
correctly see all the items in the Library?

I do not think it is possible to see information that is in subfolders at
least not that i have seen.

If you need a way to work with more relational data, you may want to check
out the Database Accelerator. It is a suite of webservices to quickly
integrate your forms with a SQL database. http://www.qdabra.com

That seems like a major limitation. The Document Libraries support
folders, it would be very very bad if you couldn't access them via
Infopath.

I have no idea what you're talking about, what I'm talking about has
nothing whatsoever to do with database connectivity.

Using Sharepoint views and libraries as a datasource is somewhat limited. The
intent is for light information or lists.

That was why I suggested an alternative if you need to track forms or other
information as a requirement for your solution.
