    Display Items from a SharePoint List in a repeating table section

    I've created and populated a custom SharePoint list from an infopath form.  Now I'd like to make a second form to maintain the previously submitted list data in a repeating table container.  I've done this before (outside of SharePoint), using data submitted to an Access DB.  However, when I'm using the data from the SharePoint list, the only type of container I can add is a simple section.

    As background, the reason I'm not using a view to do this is that views do not allow for drop-downs of available options for specific columns/fields.

     Any tips on what I'm doing wrong?

    I'm sort of having to guess at what you want to do - it sounds like you were hoping to have a form that would allow you to edit all the items in a SharePoint list? To my knowledge, there is no out of box way to do this. It could be done with custom code or with qRules.

    Hi Hilary:

     Yes, that's what I was trying to do.  I had it working on InfoPath2003 tied to an Access DB.  Had the whole works nested in a wiki iframe for easy access from our user community. Since then we've upgraded to IP2010 with Sharepoint. I'm struggling to switch from the IP form-filler paradigm to that of IP/Sharepoint with lists.

    Thanks for the clarification.
