    Multiple repeating tables into one Sharepoint List

    I am using the custom coding solution to send repeating table data into a Sharepoint list. I can get it to work for a single repeating table, but I am composing a form with several different repeating sections and I'd like them all to submit to the same SP list. I am not much of a coder, does anyone know how to add additional repeating groups into the code? Code I'm using is from this tutorial: http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/how-to-submit-items-rows-repeating-table-infopath-sharepoint-list.htm Is it possible to basically copy the relevant section of code and change it to point to additional repeating groups?

    qRules does multiple repeating tables. We don't tend to support S.Y.M. Wongaton's site since there are numerous issues with the approaches she takes - in general, we don't recommend adding specific code to your forms since it will cost you more to maintain them.

    That's why we recommend qRules. It's xpath agnostic which means you can add it to all of your forms. It comes with personal assistance from Qdabra and all proceeds go to supporting this site.

    Thanks I am trying out qRules now. I also just got an upgrade to Infopath 2010, which seems to play much nicer with SP lists and repeating tables. Will qRules still be needed if I have Infopath 2010?

    Sadly, neither InfoPath 2010 or 2013 have the native ability to submit data to a SharePoint list - unless the form itself is a SharePoint list form - which would then submit data to only a single list. Sounds like you need to submit to multiple lists.

    qRules is definitely working for multiple repeating tables! However I have a new issue, I am including "Other" fields for each drop-down menu so users can enter info if it doesn't appear in the list. I need these entries to appear in the same column as the drop-down menu. I thought I could do this by mapping the "Other" fields to the same Sharepoint list column in the Infopath to Sharepoint List Tool. But when I tried this I get no values at all, neither from the drop-down or the Other field. Is it possible to have to 2 separate fields post data to the same Sharepoint Column? (I think I will post this as a separate question.)
