I have a repeating table connected to a database. right now the repeating table starts with a row is there a way to make it so the end user has to select insert row to place the first row in.

Thanks

 

Have you tried using the Default Values dialog?  I believe that will do the trick.

Is there a way to make the repeating table start with 0 rows and then the user would have to insert the first row?

Thanks Jimmy I didn't realize you had meant the form dialog default. I appreciate the help!

Hi , How did you achieve it, i got default dialog box, but didn't find the way to do. Please advice. - Chintan

 Chintan,

Steps:

1. Go to Form Options
2. Select Advanced
3. Click Edit Default Values
4. un-check the group that you do not want to appear with a starting value
   

I think you have to have a repeating section to do this. When you open your form again or preview it you should just have the insert text now.

Good Luck

I had to join this site just to say THANK YOU. My repeating field was inside an initially missing optional section, and as such it was already blank in that location, but selecting then deselecting this got it. Never would have figured it out without you.

PS: This reply box doesn't work in IE11, had to emulate 8.

 Thank you for joining! Glad you found some sustenance.
