Hi some one got a solution for the following scenario?
Please help me.

Consider the following example.

A form with the following fields

Firstname
Lastname
Address#1
Address#2
City
State
Pincode
Contact#
BirthDate
Hobbies
FavouritePastTime
FavoutiteSport
etc

I will display all the field in the form, while collecting data using the response from in tracker, i dont want to capture Hobbies, FavouritePastTime, FavouriteSport field. All other field data should be captured for processing to csv file after exporting.

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

If you remove the binding from the fields you do not want collected, then they should not be included, since they will not show up in the the DataSet Model

The field binding property determines how data is imported and exported. If a field has normal bining, then it's data is reflected in the "DataSet". If the field's binding is set to "None", then it is excluded from the "DataSet". It is this "DataSet" that is imported and exported, not the field data. So if you set a field's binding to "None", then it will not be included the "csv" file when export data from the forms collection.

I did a test. Fields on my test form that had the binding set to "None" did not appear on the response tracker in the collection, and they did not export to the CSV file.

I think your mistake was in setting the binding to null, just set it to "None"
