Re: Solution for storing repeating table rows to sharepoint lists?

I am sorry to tell you this - but if you can't write custom code for the solution (and I'm assuming that means you can't add third party code, like qRules, either), there is no way to get repeating data from InfoPath submitted as individual SharePoint list items. You could use CAML and have a button by each row to submit the rows individually - that would work without code - but that means trusting the user to click submit by each row. There may even be a way with somerule logic and a counter field to individually submit each row via CAML with the user only having to click one button - you'd have to set the values in your CAML data source for a row, submit, set it for another row, submit, etc....

Solution for storing repeating table rows to sharepoint lists?

Hi,

I searched on the web and so far I have found that there is no easy way to store repeating table values to sharepoint lists in IP 2003. Now, I wanted to give this a last try to figure out if there could be a work around to this.

Here is what is required:

1) The form that needs to be built has some questionaires (answers in free form), attachments, and majority of it is multiple repeating tables in the form. For example, there are 4 sections in the form:

a) Continent :

Eithnicity | GDP | Population | % Finish College

b) Country

Eithnicity | GDP | Population | % Finish College

c) State

Eithnicity | GDP | Population | % Finish College

d) City

Eithnicity | GDP | Population | % Finish College

Each of those repating tables in the sections need to be stored into the sharepoint list. I am trying to figure out what is the best way to capture this data and store in sharepoint. I think there are 3 aspects to this requirement: 1) Interface that collects the information, 2) A tool that stores the completed information, 3) Data management modeling

The limitations I have is that I can not write custom code for the sharepoint envirnment. However, I do have access to the Sharepoint Designer which allows me some custom code. I have access to Web Parts but haven't used them before.

Any help guidence would be much appreciated.

Regards
