Infopath draws it nicely (with sections and repeating sections inside&amp;nbsp;for the collections) and passes the type to the submit method too.&lt;br /&gt;Now I&amp;#39;ve added secondary data sources to uses as lookups.&lt;br /&gt;When I connect these data sources to the fields of the simple group at the top level&amp;nbsp;(which represents the actual type) it works. BUT when I connect a lookup data source to a filed inside a repeating group&amp;nbsp;at one of the deeper levels (which represent a collection of a related type) Design Checker throws&amp;nbsp;the SOAP exception: &lt;em&gt;Server was unable to process request. ---&amp;gt; Object reference not set to an instance of an object.&lt;/em&gt; I spent hours searching the Net for an answer but still can&amp;#39;t figure it out. I need help!&lt;br /&gt;Thank you.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
