I know that the binding to a random field is ... bothersome. However, it does prevent the event bubbling that turns things blue. Generally, I grab everything inside my offending section, move it to a different area of the form, rebind the section, then copy the controls back in -- usually that prevents the unbinding issue....

OK, I see the duplicate data thing is not a problem as you simply have 2 different sections to demo the solutions. And I've used your demo to test my situation which does work if I add my optional section into another section and bind that section to some random field.

My question is now - why should I need to bind the main section to some random field (you bound yours to field2)? Also, when I change the binding of the main section, all the contained controls lose their bindings which will take me forever to fix up - it there a way round this?

I have the blues too big time: I have repeating section inside an optional section inside the main section.

Does this mean I need to add another section to enclose the optional section?

In your cure, all the fields show blue icon and the message about storing duplicate data - is that not a problem?

Thanks for any help
