First, I liked the book. It is straight forward and keeps on point.

In Chapter 14 there are several instances where the selectSingleNode method of the DOM is discussed using the form "//my:fieldName".

This works fine in the examples but when I try to add code to existing forms the "my:" pretext doesn't work.

Where do I look or what code could I run to find out the value of the name of a control for my code?

Ken,

At the top of the code is a line that specifies the namespace you are going to use. You can see it below. Also, don't forget the // before the name (my) in other words: "//my:fieldName"

// The following line is created by Microsoft Office InfoPath to define the prefixes
// for all the known namespaces in the main XML data file.
// Any modification to the form files made outside of InfoPath
// will not be automatically updated.
//<namespacesDefinition>
XDocument.DOM.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", 'xmlns:my="http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2003/myXSD/2004-10-19T21:13:19"');
//</namespacesDefinition>
