Ok - i am a little closer. I was not able to do as you instructed - everytime I tried to add the repeating table, infopath insisted that I bind it to repeating goup or table and since I do want to capture the informaiton I did the following:
I have created a child table in my SQL DB and established the relationship with the parent. The child table, "hlink", has the following fields:
hlink - varchar
description - varchar
pkey (rowguid linked to paent via relationship)
hkey (rowguid as the unique identifier for the child table)
I have added this table to the existing datasource in infopath
I have created a repeating table and linked all of the text boxes to the fields in the new datasource
If I leave the hlink text box as a "textbox" then the hyperlink is not active
If I change it to type hyperlink nothing shows up
I feel I almost have it but need a little more help --
Thanks in advance for your help
