InfoPath Dev

Hi, I hope this isn't a duplicate question. I have an InfoPath form containing a number of repeating tables. The first table was created from scratch. The rest of the tables are almost identical, and they were created by referencing data fields from the first table. The repeating data elements are promoted as Merged. Data entry works correctly in all the tables. When I look at a filled-in form in an XML editor, each row of each repeating table has its own unique section and all data is present. For example, if a repeating table contains 12 rows of data, the XML file has 12 corresponding entities. All well and good. However, when I look at the data in the SharePoint Form Library, I only see the first 11 rows from the first table. Although the rest of the rows & tables appear correctly in the form XML, SharePoint apparently doesn't load them from the XML. The column is defined as Multiple Lines of Text. Settings for the column are grayed out so I can't changes the number of lines displayed. Wouldn't help anyway since the data isn't there. My question is: how can I get SharePoint to recognize and load all the rows from all the repeating tables in my form and display them all in the appropriate column? If that's not possible, is there another solution that will allow me to access all the repeating table data from SharePoint? Thanks. SB

I've not seen this before. It sounds like you are saying that the promoted property, bound to a repeating field and set to display merged data, doesn't display all the data. And this is consistent across all the merged promoted properties? Does all the data display if the table only has 5 rows, or 10 rows? Or is there always one missing item?

Hi, Hilary. Thanks for the quick response! Your summary is correct. My first table has 11 rows; 11 rows are displayed in SharePoint. No data from my other tables is displayed. However, the data from the other tables does appear in the form XML. The tables all make use of the same repeating fields. Hope that makes sense.

Did you promote the other fields? You'd mentioned you referenced the fields in the other tables - do you mean in the data source pane, you used "Reference" to add same-named fields to different repeating groups? If so - that makes a copy of the field.
