DISREGARD.

Figured it out. The Repeating Table creates rows with TextBox controls. You just have to delete the existing TextBox control in the column you want to replace with your Drop-Down List and everything works fine. I even have the Drop-Down List populated from my SQL Server. Very nice.

Set repeating table cell from drop-down list

I have a simple purchase/order form I am implementing in Infopath (first time user so be gentle).

I am using a repeating table to itemize each unique product/service in the order. Each line item (row) contains standard fields such as quantity, product description, and unit price with a line-item total.

Requirement: I have one field that requires a product code from an established list of acceptable product codes.

I want my user to enter all order items into a repeating table.
For given column ProductCode they should select an acceptable product code from a hardcoded drop-down list.

Problem: after binding the desired column field to the drop-down list the selected item is perpetuated down each row of the repeating table instead of retaining unique values

I cannot put the drop-down list into the repeating table column. If it helps, this form will ultimately be published to SharePoint 2007 and workflowed.
