About changing a form's main data source

At times, you may need to modify a form to use a different XML Schema, database server, or Web service before or after deployment. You do not have to modify the form definition file (.xsf) to accomplish this task, however, because with Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 Service Pack 1 or later, you can change the main data source of your form through the InfoPath designer.

The steps you need to take to do this differ, depending on whether your form's main data source is an XML Schema, an XML document, or a data connection.
