You are correct, and I'm sorry, I didn't notice that point in your original post. I'm afraid, then, that what you want to do is probably not possible. If you can't use code, and you can't use qRules (because of Admin Approved template issues), I don't believe there is going to be a way for you to realize your desired functionality.

Any chance that simply displaying the secondary data source info in the form without copying it into the main data source would be acceptable to your end users?

Thank you Hilary,

I was under the impression that Qrules requires "Administrative-Approval publishing type"much like adding C# or VB code? If this is the case, then this is prohibited in my situation. If this is not the case i'm signing up! Certainly not about cost, but getting that level of admin becomes an insurmountable task.

Qdabra should consider purchasing infopath from Microsoft. They have become so bloated and unresponsive, and yet you guys are living it. Well done on this site.

Hi -- you should really check out qRules (free trial here). It has a command called CopyTable that will copy your table from your secondary data source to your main data source. Otherwise, I'm afraid you'll have to write custom code for this.

repeating tables secondary to main

Hopefully I can explain this. I have a repeating tabled bound to secondary data connection. Within this table I have a checkbox. If the row is selected via checkbox the @id row and @title populate a secondary data table that is a Copy of the original. A (filtered) summary table if you will. Because this repeating table is a (Secondary data) copy I want to use the double eval technique and apply it only to this copied table with out affecting the orginal. I dont think this can be done with or without code its a loop! My question is now is it possible to copy the contents of this summary table to a main binding repeating table that stays specific to indiviual form? I can't seem to add rows to the repeating table so my approach must be in error, or flawed concept. I can't do this in code because I don't have the admin priv. and I'm not a strong coder.

Help?
