    Disappearing Section

    I have a main section on my form. This section contains text and 3 other sections. The text in the main section shows up fine. But none of the sections within the main section show up. I verified that the option to display them by default is selected. I also verified that the option was set on each of the sections. I can even add a new section in the main section without setting any options and it will not display.

    Any ideas? Could there be an issue with sections within sections?

    How are you adding the additional sections? Are you adding the controls or dragging from the Data Source? Also, do you have fields in the nested sections?

    I created a new view. I added main section and then added text in that section as well as a section that contained a layout table. Upon viewing the new view - nothing appeared. However, I filled out a new form - then all the info showed up - including the layout tables on the original form I was having problems with. If I now open an item that existed before the change, those items do not show up - nor do I get a schema error. It's just like they never existed. Now, if I go back and open the new item I just created, I can see those sections that didn't appear previously.

    Does this make sense?

    It sounds like some sort of data mismatch in your earlier form. Odd that you don't get a schema error. If it's now working for all subsequently created forms then it sounds like you may be all set.
