Stephanie Cantwell:

I am afraid to copy a repeating table (or random number of rows of data) from secondary data source to another DOM will require code.

Stephanie,

Thank you. I have been trying to code this, but the Object model help and examples are pretty thin. If the table in my main data source is:

<AttendanceTable ClassSection="English 225">
     <StudentName/>
     <Attended/>
</AttendanceTable>

and my secondary data source is:

<StudentRecords>
   <StudentName/>
   <CurrentClasses>
      <Class/>
   </CurrentClasss>
</StudentRecords>

What is the objects/methods:

To get the the student name from the student record where class the class = English 225
Populate the student name field for each row in the Attendance table

Thank you,

Ren

It is a limit of the secondary data source that it cannot be used in this way. It is only by making the data source the primary data source that such a scenario could be achieved, unless you code the behaviour.

Kalyan,

Thank you for the quick reply.

No, they are text boxes. For example, my secondary source has 4 students in a repeating table. I need to create a new table with the first element in each row filled in with the students' name.

Once again,

Thank you,

Ren

Hello

Is your field a drop down and want to show all the names from the XML into the Drop down?

Populating a field in a table from a secondary data source

RLPopeIII — Wed, 26 Sep 2007 13:39:43 GMT

I have searched and not found exactly what I am looking for:

I have an xml file with student data that I am using as a secondary data source. I have a repeating table that I would like to pre-populate the first field with the students' names. Is there a way to do this wth out code?

Thanks,

Ren
