Re: Is there a way to setup a repeating section and have the items selectable?

Still not quite what I was looking for. Let me see if I can explain a bit more. 1) user fills out a form that populates a document library

2) user needs to modify one of these files

3) I have a data connection that retrieves the users data that is in the document library

4) using an InfoPath form with that data connection I want to present them a drop down list that has two of the data items - job number & description.

5) from that list i want them to select one and the retrieved data needs to show up

6) user modifies a couple of the data items

7) data is submitted back into the document library as a new form

When I tried the methods shown above, the secondary data connection (retieval) will not let me make it the master table. so it cannot link to the repeating section.

There are several ways you can accomplish this. Here are a couple of links that may help get you started and to help decide which method works best for your scenario:

I have data that is being received from a SharePoint document library and displayed in a repeating section in InfoPath. I need to be able to select a row in the repeating section and use that information to receive more information from the SharePoint document library. Maybe the repeating section is not the way to do this. I am open for suggestions.

Thanks
