Thanks.... Tried that but, unless I am doing something wrong, they will not import mulitple rows. Unfortunatley a lot of the data is in repeating tables which I need to filter so have to import it into the primary source instead of leaving it in the resource files.

You could just use the Default Values... dialog box provided under the Tools menu in the InfoPath designer.

Managed to find a way as per below. May not be the neatest solution but seems to work.

//Load Data From Template from the root "myFields" down.

IXMLDOMNode rootNode = thisXDocument.DOM.selectSingleNode("//*[local-name()='myFields']");

IXMLDOMNode newNode = thisXDocument.GetDOM("Lookups").selectSingleNode("//*[local-name()='myFields']");

//Check number of entries in the Lkup_1-10 field

IXMLDOMNodeList myNodes = thisXDocument.DOM.selectNodes("//*[local-name()='Lkup_1-10']");

int myNodesLength = myNodes.length;

//If the field only contains one entry, the default data has never been loaded. Therefore.

if (myNodesLength < 2)

{

//Write all data in the form

rootNode.parentNode.replaceChild(newNode, rootNode);

}

Hi,

I am sure this is really easy but have a template in which I want to populate with default data when it loads (e.g. lookup values, system specifications, etc). What is the easiest way to do this? Is this using resource files? The namespaces will be identical as I will fill in the form with all the information I need and then look to import that xml.

The form will need to be 2003 compatible.

Thanks
