    Infopath 2007 Repeating Sections and Propery Promotion to SharePoint

    Guys,

     I have my form pretty much completed however I am having trouble promoting the additional repeating sections to a SharePoint Form Library.

     On the repeating section I have a text field and when adding additional information a user will insert a new Item.

     is there any easy way to include this additional information on the SharePoint form library?

     Also, I have a workflow that runs when a member of staff is selected by an Esclated To field, this sends them a job number and a description of the job. Is there any way to include the additional repeating text box?

     thanks!

    Hi Jay662,

    Have you tried the mergetext aggregation function? In the promoted properties dialog there's a dropdown and you can select merge or merge text. I forgot the exact name.

    In general, SharePoint does not support repeating structures well. Eventually, you will need to move your data to SQL. Qdabra has a very inexpensive Web Service (DBXL) that enables that. The trial is also free. Then, you can use a data view to group the repeating data.
