Hi! Thanks for ur reply. I created a data connection to bind a XML schema to the form. But I'm facing a problem here. The schema has a root node and a child node with two attributes. One attribute will be the ID of the field and the other will be the value in the field. Once I create a data connection, the data palette shows only one child node along with the attributes. Now even if I try to bind the single child node to multiple fields on the form, the XML generated has only one child node with the value for the last field only. So how do I generate an XML which has multiple child nodes corresponding to each form field.
 
Ur help will be appreciated!!
TIA!!

Unfortunately XFA form schemas are not this flexable. You get one name/value pair for each form field, bound to one XML node, where the XML node's name is the field binding name and the contents of the XML node is the field's value. Multiple XML nodes with the same name represent multiple instances of the field on the form. That's pretty much it. Read the XFA Specifcation, itdescribes the XFA binding stategy.
