InfoPath Dev

I have created a form with a multiple selection list box.  This is connected to an access database which stores the info required.  When I preview the form the multiple selection choices I have, go from the top of the page to the bottom, it is not possible to see all of them at the same time because of other information in the form.  What I would like to happen is the list of names to flow across the page and then down the page, pretty much as you see the text here.

I understand now... you are using the multiple select list box (terminology is important here) and not check boxes (which is what I interpereted multiple choice box to mean).

That control does not allow you to do what you are wanting. You would have to custom design a control either using the InfoPath UI (which might be quite a struggle) or using an ActiveX Control (which might be too much work/cost).

I don't know of a viable alternative for you at this time--though there might be one that someone else knows of.

Good luck.

Hi Paul,

I would go with Greg's suggestion to create your own multi-select list box.  IP2007 has the horizontal repeating section, and since you are already allowing for multiple selections it should be easy to design a repeating section that looks very much like what you have now.  You can use a button to expand contract everything so that it hides nicely.

Good luck, and let us know what you wind up doing!
