I am such a novice that everything you said there made no sense to me. LOL

Hi Justin and welcome!

What you want is a filtered set value. A rule that sets the values for a section based on the checkbox in the section. You can probably do this with simple xpath and set value rules, but that assumes the checkbox is also repeating and part of the same repeating section. If the checkbox is not, you will have to use code, or try qRules which has a set value command that executes based on a filter. If so, google for qRules and read up on set value. If not, please send me email.

If 'Yes' Populate additional tables

Good Day,

I am very new to InfoPath and I am encountering something that I have not been able to "google" my way through.

I am creating a basic form that people can request information through. They will include a few bits of information and specify where the information will be mailed (physical address). What I need is a check box that if they click it it will populate an additional set of shipping address fields (ie: addresss, city, state, zip). I need this to be done over and over on the same form. In other words...if a person needs to request to have the same materials sent to 10 different people, they can click a box to add additional shipping info and then click the next box to add more shipping fields and so and so forth.

Anyone's help would be much appreciated. Please let me know if you need me to specify anything.

Justin
