Delete a field or group

Note  Deleting a field or group will cause an error in any controls on your form that are bound to that field or group. In addition, if users have already filled out forms based on your form template, deleting a field or group can cause data loss in those forms.

1. In design mode, if the Data Source task pane is not visible, click Data Source on the View menu.
2. If your form uses more than one data source, click Main in the Data source list. You cannot delete fields or groups in a secondary data source.
3. Right-click the field or group you want to delete, and then click Delete on the shortcut menu.

   Note  If your form template is based on a sample form, pre-existing XML Schema, database, or Web service, you can delete only the fields and groups that you have added to the data source.

Note  The information in this topic may not apply if you are working with a form designed using Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 without the service pack installed. Learn more
