Re: Combining multiple repeating groups/fields to populate a combobox

Thank you for your response.

I was hoping I could avoid coding altogether. My needs are relatively simple. In this particular case, it would be sufficient to supply a custom XPath expression. Another way to do this would be to allow multiple selection in the InfoPath dialog box where you select the XPath node. I don't know if that is possible in version 2010.

You would be able to do it with code behind.

Combining multiple repeating groups/fields to populate a combobox

In InfoPath 2007, you can populate a combobox by values from a set defined by an XPath expression on the main data source. However, these expressions seem to be limited to those that refer to a single repeating group of field.

I wonder if there is a way to manually edit these XPath expressions or otherwise make it possible to populate a combobox with data from multiple places in the data source.

Also, does version 2010 provide this capability?
