Hi,

In Infopath we have formula Position().

First insert Expression box and add this formula Position().
it will increment the number every time you added section to the form..

I hope this will help for you.

do you just want the ordering like 1,2,3 for the repeating values or do you eant assign a value.

If it is just the ordering then you can set the default value to be
count(../preceding-sibling::*) + 1
Here you need to check "Update this value when the result of the formula is recaliculated."

if you dont want the numbers to be in order then you can use the following
count(../preceding-sibling::*) + 1 + count(../following-sibling::*)
Here you need to uncheck "Update this value when the result of the formula is recaliculated."

Automation of text box numbers

Hi all,

Can somebody please tell me a way in which i can automate a text box number to increase by one everytime a repeating section is inserted.

I currently have a rule which enables me to get 1 to change to 2 but there will be a number of inserts

Thanks in advance

Stuart
