    Repeating Table - Allow users to insert and delete rows option disabled

    In my InfoPath 2010 form, a user will enter a Part Number in a text field and then click a button.  This button has a rule associated with it that performs a query using a secondary data connection against a SharePoint list.  All list items matching this Part Number will then display in a repeating table on the form.  Any number of records may be returned (1-10+).  This is working fine.

    Since the user may not want to display all rows that are returned, I would like to provide them the ability to remove/delete rows of data in the repeating table they don't want to see.  With this functionality, the user would NOT be updating/deleting any data in the SharePoint list.  Just removing it from the InfoPath form's repeating table.

    I thought this ability would be possible by accessing the repeating table properties, Data tab, Default settings - "Allow users to insert and delete rows" checkbox.  Unfortunately, this checkbox is greyed out and unchecked by default.

    Is there a no-code solution available that provides this funtionality to the user?  Am I missing a setting somewhere?  If a coded solution is necessary, what would be involved?  Unfortunately, I'm not a .NET/ASP/XSL programming guy.

    Thanks in advance for any information.

     Hi,

     In regards to deleting rows in a repeating table a topic was already opened previously: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/p/12125/42570.aspx#42570, hope that can help you. In regards to adding rows extensive code would be required or you can use Qdabra's qRules tool free trial at http://www.qdabra.com/en/products/qRules.aspx.
