What does a well formed XML or Schema look like for InfoPath form creation?

Question

Howdy,

Are there any resources out there that defines how a well formed XML or Schema may look like for InfoPath?

When designing a new form, there is an option to base the new form off of an existing XML document or XML Schema as the data source.

I am looking for any guidelines or rules that will help me make sure the structure of the XML file I use to create the form will work the best it could work.

I am creating the XML structure for another project, but we want to make sure the XML that is created would be InfoPath friendly for possible future applications.

Thank you,
Keith

I think you can use whatever xml data that you want. The xml you start with forms the Main DataSource in your InfoPath form template. You can use an xml fragment as simple as this:
