I think if you put the repeating table in a layout table cell, and format that layout table cell to have a white background (and auto-height), this might display as you wish. But can I see your form? I'm not sure why you have the gap, as you aren't using a layout table in the last copy I have (which is a common cause of this).

Attached is the .xsn file. The repeating table is for the field 'Metric Type' (about two thirds of the way down the form), which is bound to a sql server data source field called 'Metric Type Name'. I will try out your suggestion as well. Thanks! Lou

You had conditional formatting on the control inside the repeating table to hide it, but not on the table itself. So I copied that rule to the table. Also I put the table inside a layout table cell - perhaps this will now look the way you want it to.

Thank you Hilary!. I have to repeat these steps for a few more fields that can have multiple values, so I want to make sure I understand what you did and try from scratch rather than copy and paste. I understand about the conditional formatting, but you indicate you put the table inside a layout table cell. These are the steps I can't follow, as I don't see an option to add a control called 'layout cell'. See the attached screenshot. Do you add a table from this menu bar somewhere and then slide the repeating table into it? Thanks! Lou

A layout table can be added from the Insert menu - Custom table - I selected a single row, single column table. Then I cut & pasted the table into the cell. :)

Thank you. I need to do the same for a few other fields, but I get the attached error message. I did the following steps, and get the error message at step 5: 1. Added the layout table; 2. Copied the repeating table from the field you helped me with and pasted it into the layout table; 3. right click the value inside the repeating table you helped me with and selected copy; 4. I pasted it into the new repeating table; 5. I attempted to change the binding to the field I need for this new repeating table but when I select the field to bind it to (which is in another data connection I created), I get the attached error. Thanks..Lou

You may need to rebind the repeating table to the other data source first. Basically, the repeating table needs to be bound to the correct data source - then you can change the control inside it.

That did it. Thanks again!..Lou
