&lt;p&gt;1 - I would analyze whether you need a second form.&amp;nbsp; Typically if the data is the same I would add a second view to the form rather than trying to create a second form and all of that complexity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2 - In these scenarios it works best if you have a common data source like a database to store this data.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3 - You have to use a filter to get the particular row of data you want. So data where PartId = what as selected.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>opening a new form to fill out with information from a repeating table</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/29169.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 04 Jun 2008 16:54:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:29169</guid><dc:creator>StephanieG</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/29169.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=29169</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I am designing a form with a repeating table. Among other things, the table includes a &amp;quot;PartNumber&amp;quot; field and a &amp;quot;Generate Drawing&amp;quot; button. The button opens a new form that has many of the same fields as the original form, including a &amp;quot;partNumber&amp;quot; field. How do I (either by rules or programming) make those fields fill in automatically, based on the original form fields? I&amp;#39;ve tried using rules and the current() function, but the new form&amp;#39;s field will always have whatever was in the first row of the repeating table.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Sorry if that didn&amp;#39;t make sense...&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
