There is a unique identifier in this initial submission.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div&gt;User later has to enter additional information, at different times throughout the year, that includes adding $$ to the initial amount submitted. They need to retrieve the original and subsequent entries each time they do this.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;div&gt;User&amp;#39;s manager wants to see all the entries with a total cost for all changes entered after the first submission.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#39;m working in SharePoint 2010 with InfoPath Designer 2013. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;ve tried various approaches based on forum discussions&amp;nbsp;and just poking around but end up deleting everything and starting over again because it doesn&amp;#39;t work, one way or another. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; I&amp;#39;m probably picking the wrong posts because I really do not understand the verbiage being used in most of them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Can anyone direct me to the correct tutorials, posts, or just tell me the general steps I have to take using the tools I have?&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
