Thank you very much. Should you feel compelled to hammer out a quick and dirty example, I'd be very much appreciated. (Hey, you don't know if you don't ask right :) )

Thanks again,

Steve

Easy to do with fields inside of sections bound to group nodes with conditional formatting rules to hide-show or set values automatically. There is no limit to depth but in general, 5-6 levels deep is what's reasonable given the layout complexity that will result.

(very much a newbie)

Using SharePoint 2007, have an opportunity to use InfoPath. What we want to do is have a series of nested selections (not sure of the appropriated terminology) but an example would be...

User has three options (radio buttons) A B and C. They select one, lets say B. Four fields would autopopulate and another set of radio buttons D/E/F would be displayed. The user selects another radio button. Another set of four or five fields auto populate, and another set of radio buttons would display G/H/I, based upon their selection more fields would populate and so on. Is this even possible with InfoPath and is there a limitation to how many radio button levels you can use?

If wondering, yes.. all of the logic would be dependant upon each other. So at the begining if the user had selected A, it might autopopulate a series of fields and then display X/Y/Z raido buttons for their next choice. All of the user selections build upon each other.
