Can someone help please? Do you still think this is even possible?

Sure, I'll remember to post XPath when possible from now on. Here they are:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Products")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:IV00101/@ITEMDESC[../@ITEMNMBR = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:RMA/my:productsInvolved/my:prodID]

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Products")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:IV00101/@ITEMNMBR[../@ITEMDESC = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:RMA/my:productsInvolved/my:prodName] (Btw, I can't seem to make a newline in a post on this forum, and the help isn't loading for me. Could you advise me please? [the above is a list])

Though it would be slightly tricky, there is a way to do what you describe. Before I get into that, can you show us the full XPath corresponding to these lines (click the show XPath checkbox in InfoPath) as they don't mean much in this state:

prodID = @ITEMNMBR[@ITEMDESC = prodName]
prodName = @ITEMDESC[@ITEMNMBR = prodID]

Selecting corresponding data into another field in a repeating table

Hi, I have two (main) fields in a repeating table. They are Product Number and Product Name. Their values are taken from my sql db. I want to keep their selections synchronized. So if someone selects a product number, it automatically fills in its corresponding name. And vice-versa: if someone chooses a product name, the product number field should update to reflect that change. I almost had it working. I created a rule on each control to change the value of the other field when it was changed. This is sort of what it looked like on the Number field: (no condition) Action: >> Set a field's value: prodName = @ITEMDESC[@ITEMNMBR = prodID] And the Name field: >> Set a field's value: prodID = @ITEMNMBR[@ITEMDESC = prodName] It worked great. That is, until I started adding more items to the repeating table. What happens is when the How can I select *only the current item* to change it's corresponding field? Thanks, ~infogulch (I'm using InfoPath 2003 on Win XP SP3)
