Can someone help me, how can I display a not repeating filed as a read only value (Just for reference) in a repeating table form? I need this because I have parent list from where the child list is launched based a condition.

I have a filed in the Parent list called No of Hours Worked, and in the child list (repeating table we capture the break up of individual effort hours for a task. so the total should match the parent filed - No of Hours Worked value.

Also is there a way we can put a validation rule which does not allow user to submit unless both the total value of the break up and No of Hours Worked filed value is same.

 I am using Sharepoint 2010 with Infopath 2010. The Total work hours filed in child form is a expresstion box placed in the footer which only calculates the value temporarily till the form is submitted.

Any help is much appreciated.

 Hi Krishna, yes you can do all of what you are asking both in and out of repeating tables/sections, you just need to get your logic, and where you point to it, in order.

I think I have appended a form that demonstrates what you are asking for and the logic hopefully it is relatively easy to follow?
