    Emulating Multi-selection List Box in Web Forms

    Hi all, we are in need to solve a UI problem with the following situation: 1) We'd like to have 3 level of information such as:
    - Select (single) Level 1 (Drop-Down List Box)
    - Select (single) Level 2, based on Level 1 selection (Drop-Down List Box)
    - Select multiple items on Level 3 based on Level 2 selection
    - Repeat the process for a different Level 1 selection (let's say the first selection of Level 1 is from Group_A, the second selection of Level 1 is from Group_B).
    2) Prefer no-code if possible
    This is what we tried so far:
    - binding the 3rd-level with a repeating table and filter it based on Level 2 selection
    The problem we're facing are as follows:
    - We can't add a checkbox on the repeating table (perhaps this is setting issue on our part)
    - We use a Repeating Section for Level 1, Level 2, Level 3 so we can add another selection of Level 1, this Repeating Section (when adding a new section) erases the Repeating Table (filtered) Level 3 (display only Level 1 and Level 2 selection)
    Any suggestions?

    You must be using IP / ShP 2007?

    You should be able to add a checkbox to your repeating table - or wait, is it bound to your secondary data source?

    Hi Hilary, Yes, I'm using IP + SP 2007 and yes, the multi-selection list-box is backed by a secondary data source (Sharepoint List). I believe Microsoft added the Multi-selection List Box control to InfoPath 2010 and make it browser-form compatible as well.
