    Automatically adding multiple lines of data to a repeating table from access table

    Hello,

    I am new to Infopath and am not a techie.  I have created a form where added repeating table as shown below:

    Departments        Usernames        Roles

    row 1

    What I am trying to do is to auto-fill the fields from an Access table as shown below:

    ID       Departments        Usernames        Roles

    row 1            1        BioMed                 Phil                   Admin 

    row 2            2        OR                      Dr. Phil               User 

    However, when I preview the form, all I get is this:

    Departments        Usernames        Roles

    row 1           BioMed                 Phil                   Admin 

    row 2           BioMed                 Phil                   Admin 

    The second, third, etc... line in the repeating table is always the first line of the Access table.

    What I was hoping to achieve is the 2nd line of the repeating table would match the second line of the Access table.

    How can I make this work?  HELP!!!!

    Thank you in advance.

    Phil

    This is the technique we use and suggest for copying data from one repeating group to another:

    The above document involves a SharePoint-based solution, but I believe the method described on pages 12 through 25 applies just as well to your situation.
