Thank you - that does clear things up. I didn't realize about the XML data connection. Yes, I did know that the secondary data source won't be saved.

Thanks again!

Well, the type of control depends on the data source. So if the secondary data source contains repeating data, sure, the controls will have to be in a repeating table. You can create an XML file and then a data connection to it to bind your controls.... but you know that any info in a control bound to a secondary data source won't be saved in the XML when the form is saved, right?

Secondary Data Sources and Non-Repeating Fields

Is it true that secondary data sources can only be bound to repeating controls, like repeating text boxes? I would like to use a secondary data source, but I don't want or need the repeating controls, just the non-repeating ones.

Thanks!
