View issue still unresolved

[suraj]

Hey guys,

I really need some help on this. I've already spent two weeks on development
time with this.
Please see my posting "View is lost - Cannot recover it" posted on 8/10/2004

The error I get is below.
If I make ANY changes to the "1. Project Scorecard" view, which is my first
view out of 14 (7 regular views, 7 print views for the regular 7), such as
deleting a period from some text, then I get the same error. No changes can
be made
without getting this error.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

InfoPath cannot open the following view: 1. Project Scorecard
The following view file is not valid: view1.xsl
The .xsl file is not valid XSL.
Expression expected.

Check the earlier thead, and please post up your XSN if possible for us to
investigate.

Thanks,
Brian

I was able to talk to a microsoft rep (one of the InfoPath engineers no
less!!! )
Anyway, apparently, when you have a ton of fields (over 200), with about 90%
of them having lots of conditional formatting, InfoPath will put (at least in
my case) a rogue test in view1.xsl as follows:

<xsl: test=""/>

Just to let you know, I never extracted the form files, never mind alter any
of these .xsl or .xsd files.
So the fix: Close any InfoPath applications, remove this line and save the
file, execute the command "infopath /cache clearall", open manifest.xsf in
design mode and choose save as to save as a .xsn file, and then, as the
southern accented microsoft rep said " you're off to the races!! ".

Thanks to Brian and Greg for responding.
