Hi there,

I'm not sure if this is exactly what you are looking for, but cascading controls may be helpful for at least your first part. Here is a tutorial video that may help: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SH7xUEcQwwg

You should use different views as your "tabs".

Hello,

Being new here I have searched around for some answers and did find some, enough to have me come up with more as usual with someone new. I chose to post the question here and not the New User section only because there seemed to be a specific section more appropriate for this question.

Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-priority:99; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0in 5.4pt 0in 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0in; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:11.0pt; font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"; mso-ascii-font-family:Calibri; mso-ascii-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-hansi-font-family:Calibri; mso-hansi-theme-font:minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-theme-font:minor-bidi;}

I am trying to figure out the best way to accomplish the following listed below. I realize there are some different options but I am curious what the masses would say is the best practice. Also as a InfoPath noob I hope someone could also explain how to accomplish the best solution, maybe an example?

Thanks,

===1=====Model===========

Nimbus 1000 factory installed

Nimbus 1000 not factory installed

Nimbus 2000 factory installed

Nimbus 2000 not factory installed

=========================

===2===# of head units=======

=========================

===3====# of drivers========

=========================

Each head unit requires 1 power outlet if factory installed because of a included wiring harness. If not factory installed it does not come with a wiring harness and requires 2 separate power outlets. In the same sense each driver requires 1 power outlet if factory installed and 2 outlets if not factory installed.

On one screen (tab) I want the customer to select which model they are purchasing and select its configuration (number of head units and drivers) and on another screen (tab) I want to provide the customer a confirmation stating something like:

“you have purchased a X model”

“this requires Y number of outlets”
