## Remarks

If you create an event handler for the OnMergeRequest event of a form template, you must set the useScriptHandler attribute to "yes" before it will run.

Any form defined by a form definition file (.xsf) that includes this item cannot be opened in InfoPath when service pack features are disabled or unavailable.

## Example

The following is an example of the useScriptHandler attribute as it is used in the importParameters element:

    <xsf:importParameters
       enabled="yes"
       useScriptHandler="yes">
       <xsf:importSource
          name="MySource"
          schema="MySchema.xsd"
          transform="schematransform.xslt"/>
    </xsf:importParameters>
