I am using a form as a template to create documents. Is there a way in Domino Designer to swap out an image on a document that has already been created? I have changed the image on the form so that new documents created from that form will have the correct image. However, I have many existing documents already created from that form. When I click the “Edit” button for the document, I can only edit the fields, not the image.

If the image is really in the form, then unless you’re storing the form in the document, the image will update in old docs as you want, since it’s not stored in them, but in the form.
So is the image in the form, or is it in a field in the documents?
Is it an in-line (old-style) image, or an image resource?

The image belongs to the form in this case, not the document, so as long as the form has not been stored in the document, the image will change when you change the form.

Is the form stored in the documents? If not, the image on the form should change for existing fields as well. If so, you will need either an API solution or to strip the stored form and let it come from the regular form (but be aware that there may be a good reason the form was stored, or you will need a third party product such as our Midas Rich Text LSX which will let you modify the stored form.
The first step is finding out if you have a stored form (look in properties from view for a $Title item, finding out whether you need it if you do. If you have it but don’t need it, strip it out (there are lots of posts about which fields to remove). If you do need it, but you still need to change the image (or anything else about the stored form), let us know and we can assist.
