I'm using this strategy for repeating sections, very succesfully. It is based on a multi-select list. I need to assign a value contained in that section (row) but don't know how to select the newly created section in order to get to the field. Any ideas?

To explain the non-browser form issue: The ExecuteAction method is only available in the client side Microsoft.Office.Infopath.dll (the 59KB one).

The server side one (47KB), the one referenced by forms services doesn't have this method. Meaning browser based forms cannot use this code. For browser based forms you'll need to clone a row, or do an appendChild. Either way thise seem to work only if there is already a blank row in the table (of course you need one to clone).

But how would you insert a prepopulated row into a repeating table using this?

in other words , how would you insert a row with values instead of blanks?

Thanks

OK, I am not *that* new to Infopath, but I am not a coder either. I have a form that I want to query a list, and add a line for each entry in the list I query. Basically it's a list of Names, and I want to add a new Repeating Item for each name in the list. But I guess I am just too thick and cannot figure out how to use qRules to do this. How do i call the Command and set the value to perform this ExecuteAction function? I thought I would just use a Button to perform the task, with the following code added under Rules/Set a Fields Value, then choose Command from the 2ndary data source, with a value of "ExecuteAction /action=XCollectionInsert /xmltoedit=group4_1". This doesn't work, so any pointers would be VERY much appreciated.
