If you have SharePoint Enterprise Edition, use Data Connection libraries. You'll need to copy and update the data connections form Dev to Prod the first time. After that it will all work automatically.
Alternatively, if you use a site collection backup/restore the first time, then the list GUIDs should remain the same, which means you should be able to redeploy your form between Dev/Prod, as long as you haven't added new lists (and potentially views). You can also modify the connection details manually in the InfoPath form by editing the manifest.xsf. It isn't as scary as it initially sounds.

I'm yet to push this to production and am wondering what the best approach is. I understand that if I backup and restore the entire site SharePoint will update the data connections and everything will work just fine. But what if I just wanted to re-publish the form and new lists?? Will the connections update as expected? Regards, Paul
