    copied!<p>re: speedfox's answer, try to stay away from editing the manifest whenever possible. It'll just lead to head aches.</p> <p>If I understand your problem, you're deploying to multiple servers (DEV, UAT, Production) and need to edit the data connection manually every time you go from one environment to another? Forgive me if I've over simplified the problem</p> <p>I've found the best way to make data connections site relative is to:</p> <ol> <li><p>Use data connection files in your form. Open the data connection wizard in infopath and for all of you data conencting click "Convert..." this changes your data connection from being embedded in the form to being an independant XML file. You'll need a Data Conenction Library on you sharepoint site to store these in. Create that in the browser.</p></li> <li><p>After you've converted and the connection go back into it and there will be a Connection Options... button use it to change from "Local data connection library" to "Centrally managed connection library"</p></li> <li><p>Upload the data connection that is in your sites Data Connection Library to central admin</p></li> <li><p>When you publish your form make sure you're publishing to a centrally managed location (Central Admin)</p></li> <li><p>Use your form as a content type in any forms library on that site collection.</p></li> <li><p>To use the form on another site, upload the data connection file to the new servers central admin and publish the (unchanged) form to the centrally managed forms.</p></li> </ol>
