SYMPTOMS
A field value is not cleared after you delete a value in the Edit Properties view or in the Datasheet view on a Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services site that uses Microsoft InfoPath Forms Services. This problem occurs if the following conditions are true:
 * You used the Publishing Wizard to publish an InfoPath form to the SharePoint site.
 * You selected a field to be displayed as a column on the SharePoint site and then enabled the Enable users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page option.



WORKAROUND
To work around this problem, open the form in Microsoft Office InfoPath, delete the value for the field, and then save the form.

Note When you create a new blank form template, click to select the Enable browser-compatible features only check box in the Design a Form Template dialog box. You can then open the form in a Web browser, delete the value for the field, and save the form.



Steps to reproduce the problem

 * 1) Open Microsoft Office InfoPath 2007.
 * 2) In the Getting Started dialog box, click Design a Form Template.
 * 3) In the Design a Form Template dialog box, click Blank, and then click OK.
 * 4) In Design Task, click Controls, and then click Text Box.
 * 5) Save the form template.
 * 6) On the File menu, click Publish.
 * 7) In the Publishing Wizard, click to select the To a SharePoint server with or without InfoPath Forms Servers check box, and then click Next.
 * 8) Enter the URL in the Enter the location of your SharePoint or InfoPath Forms Services site box, and then click Next.
 * 9) Click to select the Document Library check box, and then click Next.
 * 10) Click Create a new document library, and then click Next.
 * 11) Type a name in the Name box, and then click Next.
 * 12) Click Add.
 * 13) In the Select a Field or Group dialog box, click field1, click to select the Allow users to edit data in this field by using a datasheet or properties page check box, and then click OK.
 * 14) Click OK, click Publish, and then click Close.
 * 15) On the File menu, click Exit InfoPath.
 * 16) On the SharePoint site, open the document library that you created, and then click New to create a document. In InfoPath, form1 is displayed.
 * 17) In field1, type Test.
 * 18) On the File menu, click Save.
 * 19) In the Save As dialog box, type FormTest in the File name box, and then click Save.
 * 20) On the SharePoint site, click FormTest in the document library, and then click Edit Properties.
 * 21) In the Edit Item view, delete the Field1 value, and then click OK. In the document library, the Field1 value still appears.
