Hi

 I have a repeating table where I've got a control(radio button) that repeats in every row.I wrote a changed event for that radio button that it would show the current value of that field. The code I'm using is here:

                XPathNavigator xpath = MainDataSource.CreateNavigator();     

                e.Site.SelectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/tns:Z_RFC_PR_CREATE_EX/IT_PRITEMS/item/CHK_VW", NamespaceManager).SetValue(e.Site.SelectSingleNode("/dfs:myFields/dfs:queryFields/tns:Z_RFC_PR_CREATE_EX/IT_PRITEMS/item/ADD_FLG", NamespaceManager).Value);

Please remember that using a full XPath is always wrong when you are trying to target a specific node in a repeating group (unless you want the first node or are using filters in square brackets []).

In a changed event, e.Site should be positioned at the node to which the event is attached (in this case it looks like it's ADD_FLG).  What happens if you use

e.Site.Value

To get the value of ADD_FLG, and

e.Site.SelectSingleNode("../CHK_VW", NamespaceManager)[+ .Value  /  .SetValue()]

To get at the CHK_VW node?

Hi Jimmy,

           Thank You very much its working....It is getting the current row field's value.

Jimmy,

I am going to apologize for my newbie question.  I have a similar issue to what was posted by this user but could not follow your response.  I have been self taught on InfoPath and am not familiar with manipulting code. 

I created a form with a repeating section.  In the repeating section I have a dropdown list called 'DistributionList'.  This dropdown list is populated by a Sharepoint I set up.  The "display value" for the dropdown list is the actual name, and the actual 'value' for that drop down list is the corresponding email address.  Next to this drop down list, I have a 'send email' button, also inside of the repeating section.  The idea is that I can pick 1 name in each repeating section and click the 'send email' button next to the name to send that particular name an email.   The issue I am coming up with is when the 'send email' button is selected in whichever section, it will always want to email the name selected in the very first repeating section.  So if I pick 'bella' in the first section, 'andrew' in the second repeating section, and click the 'send email' button next to 'andrew', the system will want to send the email to 'bella' instead of 'andrew'.

Can you help?  I was trying to manipulate the formula for the data connection but it doesnt work.  Beyond working with 'Tools > Data Connections > Submit Data > as an email address> 'To' , I wouldnt know where to start with manipulating code to make it pick the right name, but would like to learn if you dont mind helping. 

thank you for your time.

 Ciao bella,

 I'd be happy to help you with this.  Could you possibly provide a screenshot of your data source (in the taskpane) so I can see what all the nodes are called, and we'll take it from there.

Hi Jimmy,

         I tried    e.Site.SelectSingleNode("../CHK_VW", NamespaceManager) [+.SetValue("K")]    to set the value "K" to the above field. It was giving me a syntax error. 

You shouldn't actually be using the brackets and plus sign.  Those were just there to show you that there were those two possible endings for getting and setting the value.

e.Site.SelectSingleNode("../CHK_VW", NamespaceManager).SetValue("K");

Hi again Jimmy... thanks for your offer to help.  I hope this is the image you were looking for.  The repeating section is called 'Reviewers'.  Inside this repeating section I have a section currently called 'group 44' which has the 'reviewername' field with a orange 'send' button next to it.  I would like to be able to hit the 'send' button and have the email go to the adjacent name selected in the 'reviewername' field.  I displayed the properties for the 'reviewername' drop down list in case that helps.  Thank you!  bella

 One simple thing you could do is create a field called "emailRecipient" outside of the repeating group (you don't have to display it on the form) and then add a button with a rule that carries out these steps:

1.  Set emailRecipient to the value of reviewername (when you are setting up the formula for this, the formula should just have reviewername, not a full absolute path.
2.  Invokes the send e-mail data connection.

 Then set up the data connection to use the emailRecipient field as the value for the To: address.

 Would that work?

Hi Jimmy...

I love simple solutions and this one worked like a charm!  Thank you...thank you!  Bella
