    Repeating sections and controls breaking across pages

    Good Afternoon All,

    I'm a newbie developing a complex form with multiple repeating tables within repeating sections.  My main problems comes down to the known problem of InfoPath breaking a control across pages and not being able to enable the user to add page breaks in thier form.  I'm replacing Word based printed form with an InfoPath application to enable cascading listboxes and improve controls over user entered data.  I've been using Matt Faus's "Repeat Table Headers Across Multiple Printed Pages" to attempt to correct my problem.  However, I'm not experienced with coding...his example references a secondary data source (XML document) for the data within the form.  The repeating tables that I'm attempting to 'fix' contain user entered data rather than secondary source referenced data.  Can anyone advise me how to adjust the oVehicles variable to refernce my user entered data as the source node?

    Hi JECowley,

    This is a more involved question for this forum. The answer is likely to have someone look at your code and help you. It could be as easy as replacing the xpath with the one for your Main Data Source, but it will take someone time to debug it. Qdabra offers support packs: http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/Support.aspx. We'd be happy to help if you purchase support credits. We need to draw the line in the forum when asked to do coding. We get thousands of coding questions a year and can't help everyone for free. If it's a general coding question that has broad appeal, we will look at blogging it so everyone can see the technique but for specific custom coding issues, we need to ask for support credits. Could be as simple as a $50 support credit...

    Patrick,

     Thank you for your response.  I completely understand.  The forum actually addresses much more complex solutions than I originially anticipated.  Unfortunately, due to the prioritary nature of the form, my company will not allow me to seek specific external help.  So I'll keep churning on the problem :-)

     Have a great weekend.
