Thanks for your reply!! now i have a new problem and it's a wicked one!!

so i got this working but using the temp field, i filter the data saying the ass_InstanceID = tempField and this seems to work but it's wonky.. the thing about your solution is that it isn't based on the isSelected field anymore, i have a dropdown box whose datasource is a value in the forms datasource and it works however when i add deficiencies sometimes (and not all the time) the deficiency is added to the wrong asset adn i don't know why.

basically what i do is when the dropdown box selected index changes i populate the temp field with the asset_InstanceID and then filter the data that shows up in the detail based on this.. does this sound like the right thing to do ? What's going on.. it's driving me crazy? Maybe the rule isn't working properly??

Hi erinselena,

Why are you using a tempfield, why don't you just hide all Assets where IsSelected = false. This seems like it would be pretty easy - how exactly are you hiding the sections? You said a rule, but did you mean to say conditional formatting or filtering? Filtering is prefered, since InfoPath never even retrieves the nodes before trying to render them.

Hello Everyone,

I have a release of my form going out in the next 2 days and I have something strange going on that i can't seem to fix. Please keep in mind i am using infopath 2007 and also hosting in windows app using formControl

I have a form with 2 views, the first view has a repeating table on it and it shows items we call "Assets". on the second view i have a repeating table showing items called "Deficiencies". The schema is below for you to look at: Basically there is one asset and the asset can have many deficiencies... the my:Deficiency field is repeating.

So what i want to do is the following: On the first view i have a checkbox labelled isSelected, when it is selected and you go to the detail view i only want to show the "deficiencies" that belong to this asset and i want to be able to add more than one deficiency to an asset. So what i do is i put the value that is in my:ass_InstanceID into a temp field and then i have a rule on my repeating table that says show all rows where my:ass_InstanceID = tempfield

This is only working for the very first deficiency in the repeating group, all of the other deficiencies show up all of the time... what am i doing wrong?????

Thanks so much for your help!!!!

Erin
