    Multi-line Text Box in Secondary Data Source

    I have several text boxes and drop down boxes defined and working well that are defined in an XML file. All of these are editable by the users. However, I want to have a multi-line text box that the users can edit, which is also defined in the XML file. However, when I select Multi-line, it goes to Read Only. It doesn’t have to be a Rich Text Box, it can be a type Note that is Multi-Line. Does anyone know how to do this? I don’t want it to be bound to my main data source. This is not a repeating box.

    I would guess that you'd need to modify the view file to change that. I think it's silly too that InfoPath automatically sets those to read only - but I'd guess if you save the form as source files and check out the view in a text editor, you'd be able to override that....
