    repeating rows are cool, but...

    Say I have two fields in a repeating table row; field1 and field2.

    I want field1 to repeat as long as there is data to fill the row (retrieve data on load from database via dbxl).

    I want field2 to be blank and only appear once, at the bottom of the rows, after field1 rows are done populating.  My user will fill in field2 - it's a comment field.

    How is this acheived?

    Repeating Table
    Pos. Section 1
    1 field1 value: abc
    2 field1 value: def
    3 field1 value: ghi
    4 field1 value: jkl
    5 field1 value: mno
    6 field1 value: pqr
    7 field1 value: stu
    8 field2 value: <blank>

    Hi Doreen,

    I heard from Hilary that you already got something working, so maybe no response is needed here, but I've uploaded the sample from our 2013-05-30 webinar: http://www.infopathdev.com/files/folders/examples/entry90343.aspx. This is a generic sample showing how to have a variable number of comments per repeating section - i.e. doesn't have to match the number of fields in the section but can be greater than one.

    Hope all is swell...

    Thank you Patrick.  Hillary is correct, I am getting close but I would like to look at your sample.  I am receiving the following error message when I try though;

    Access Denied: Not Administrator

    You are not an administrator."

     Here's the correct link:

    I'll also edit Patrick's post above with the correction.

    Thanks Hillary - it is for IP 2010 so I can't open it (using IP 2007) but that's okay.  I assume its like the sample we are working on.
