    Same section in multiple views?

    I have a Section with some controls and tables in it that I use in multiple views.  Right now I have to design it in each view and when I change one, need to make sure the exact changes are made elsewhere.  This is simple enough by just copying and pasting, but is there a way to design a section in one view and actually reference it from a different view so it's guaranteed they are using the same exact information and layout?

    Thanks for any help

    Hi,

    To my knowledge, we cannot reference the sections.

    Try to create a template part if you use InfoPath 2007

    Add this template to the diffeent views, when you need to change the section, you just change the template

    How to create a template?
    - Open InfoPath
    - Design a form template
    - Select Template Part

    Hello,

    We don't have any option like take the reference for UI design section in InfoPath. Adding template part also we have insert the same section in all views. After completing the UI changes in one view you have to copy that section from that view and paste in all views.
