The second data connection is a share point list. It receives data from the sharepoint list.

I need it to recieve all of the data that matches the a 3 digit code that the form is based off.

The three digit code is one of the columns in the sharepoint list i am receiving from. So i need the repeating table to pull 4 columns of information and i need to receive all the rows of information that matches the three digit code which can be anywhere from 2 rows or upto 25 rows of data. I need this information to pupulate anutomatically when the three digit code is selected in another area of the form from a drop down list.

The other drop down list already works.

As of now i can only get one line to pull but not all of the matching lines needed.

I was able to get this to work but then i was getting like 80 or 100 empty lines but all of the matching lines were being returned also.

I just do not want a form with 90 blank rows of nothing in the form.

Do you understand what i am trying to acomplish?

HI Donovan,

This should be the same process as adding a repeating table from the Main DOM. When you create a secondary data source InfoPath creates a schema from a sample set of data that it pulls. If the sample set of data contains repeating elements then InfoPath creates a repeating stucture such as a repeating table or section. You might want to check to make sure that the sample data is repeating when you add the data connection.

What kind of data connection are you adding? Database, XML, web service?

I need to get a repeating table or section to receive data from a data connection point.

I can make it pull one of row but i need it to to pull all of the rows from the data sheet that the data connection is connected to.

AS of now i can get it to pull one but i cannot get it to pull all of the matching criteria that i need.

It needs to create the extra rows and populate the data with all of the matching criteria.

I am using a 3 digit code to pull with.

I need some help if anyone can
