Hello, I was having the same issue (how do you completely hide a column?). Here is the solution I worked out editing the xsl view. It basically sets the column width to 0 when a checkbox is unchecked. Hope this helps.

<xsl:choose>

<xsl:when test="my:CheckBox_EnteredRGU = "no""><col style="WIDTH: 0px"></col></xsl:when>

<xsl:when test="my:CheckBox_EnteredRGU = "yes""><col style="WIDTH: 68px"></col></xsl:when>

</xsl:choose>

</colgroup>

Also, I cannot place sections horizontally, in a side-by-side formation, as this form needs to be browser compatible.

I'm having the same problem Greg. Can you provide in a sample of the view XSL that you mentioned to show/hide columns please.

InfoPath 2007 also enables laying out sections side by side. This would theoretically allow you to create a structure that looks like table columns only using sections that are placed next to each other. Then you can show/hide the sections as usual. This was not possible in InfoPath 2003 because sections were a block element and had to be on separate lines.

Hiding columns is not supported in the designer. You will need to manually modify the view XSL and hand-code some conditions to make this work.

What is the best way to conditionally hide columns in a table?
