InfoPath Dev

I have a repeating table that needs to return the number of the row along with the data associated with that row. I currently use an expression box with a position() method in the formula box. This works fine, but I have to store the row number along with the data in that row. I changed the expression box to a text field, but the position() method doesn't work. All I get is a "1" in every row. It seems to me there has to be a simple solution to this, but I can't seem to find it!

Hi Tracy,
Am I correct to assume that you're trying to do this without writing any code? If you are writing some code, you can refer to the Asset Tracker sample that ships with InfoPath. If you are trying not to use code, you should be able to create a rule that increments a counter stored in a secondary XML data file (data connection) and refer to that field when a new row is added.

This also might be useful:

Thanks, Patrick, I've tied the text box field to the external data file. It works somewhat, but all I get is a number 2 in every box. I'm sorry, I don't know much about Xpath, what would be the formula I would use?

Thanks, Matt! It works!
