I apologize for misunderstanding your question. I was talking about hyperlinks, you were talking about anchors (which are a form of hyperlink). InfoPath does not support anchors. There is no good way to jump to a specific portion of the view from within InfoPath. There are methods for selecting fields or text within fields... but these are clumbsy at best, though they might offer you what you need. You will need to have code for the selection features.

There was a way to do it in InfoPath 2003 but it required that you manually edit the XSL file for the view to add the anchor tag with a name and modify the link to it to point to the name of the anchor you created.  

Theoretically, it SHOULD work in InfoPath 2007.  I recently upgraded and it's not working at the moment.  I'm assuming (or perhaps hoping) that it's something minor I'm missing as opposed to a change in 2007.  Here's a quick example of what you do to modify the XSL.  (NOTE:  You can break your view if you're not familiar with XSL/HTML so if you want to try this, make a copy of the view before you attempt any modifications.)

Locate where you want to jump to and add this tag within the HTML (it must be within an <xsl:template> tag) :

<a name="[ANCHORNAME]"></a>

 Modify the hyperlink that you already created, to

 I'll post an update if I can figure out what the problem is in 2007 (Or if someone knows for a fact that 2007 changed in such a way to break this, I would appreciate the info).

lottoj,

 Did you find a solution for 2007?
