Data (for XML Form Documents) The Data tab page of the Properties dialog for an XML Form document offers some XML forms settings.

The following fields are available: XML data model Select a model from the list of all models in the current document. Binding Select or enter the name of a binding. Selecting the name of an existing binding associates the binding with the form control. Entering a new name creates a new binding and associates it with the form control.
