    How to use multiple-selection list box control in InfoPath 2007

    I have a repeating section, with some columns mapped to the parent table of my SQL 2005 database. Within the repeating section, I also have a repeating table mapped to the child table of the parent. I would like to implement a multi-selection list box in the repeating table. However, no matter what I try, when I drag the multi-selection control onto my form, I get the message :

    A multiple-selection list box must be bound to a repeating field with a text data type

     I've implemented list boxes without a problem, but just cannot figure out how to use this control.

     Thanks!

    Hi,

    You need to add repeating node in the schema for multi selection list box.

    Anuma, thanks for the quick response. I did a Google search on repeating node, and it seems to be the same as a repeating section or table, which I already have.   What I would like to do is to have one of the columns of data in the repeating section, which maps back to the child table of my SQL 2005 database, be displayed as a multiple-selection list box.   Maybe I'm not understanding what you're trying to tell me.
