Refresh All Datasource inside a form

Counter i;
Common currentRecord;

;

For (i=1; i<=Element.dataSourceCount(); i++)
{
currentRecord = Element.dataSource(i).cursor().data();
// Don't lost the Filter or Range Condition
Element.dataSource(i).research();
Element.dataSource(i).refresh();
Element.dataSource(i).findRecord(currentRecord);
}

If the AX version is greater or equal AX 2009 the code become :

For (i=1; i<=Element.dataSourceCount(); i++)
{
currentRecord = Element.dataSource(i).cursor().data();
// Don't lost the Filter or Range Condition
Element.dataSource(i).research(TRUE);
Element.dataSource(i).refresh();
}

When you open a file with SharePoint Designer, it creates all kind of FrontPage Server Extension functionality in your web application. One thing it does it that it creates a _vti_cnf folder in every folder you have in your web application.
If you remove all these folders you fix your problem.
