Re: Repeating element in XML Schema in Infopath form

Thank you for your reply, but I think you misunderstood me or that I didn't explain it good enough. :)

What I would like to do is have say 10 predefined questions in the form. The users should not be able to add their own questions, just answer the existning ones.

What I did with the template.xml was to add all my questions. Then I made a few changes to the view1.xslt so that all the questions was displayed. This works just fine in preview mode, but in design mode I get some errors on the textboxes. The error is "The control cannot store data correctly", but it works just fine in preview mode. Data is stored just the way I want.

Normally I would not care about the errors in design time, but since I aim to publish it to a forms server I need to get rid of the errors.

If it helps I could put the form on a web site where you can look at it and see the schema, template.xml and view1.xslt changes.

Hello Johan and welcome to forums,
You can make Question (group) as repeating and set the maxoccurs of that repeating group to X in Schema (.xsd file). This will allow you to enter only X Questions in InfoPath form.

Hope this helps!

Repeating element in XML Schema in Infopath form

tfsjohan — Fri, 26 Jan 2007 13:47:21 GMT

I have a XML Schema with a repeating section. The schema looks something like this:

myFields
Name (element)
Email (element)
Question (group)
QuestionId (attribute)
QuestionText (element)
Answer (element)

I would like to create a InfoPath forms that displays X questions, but stores the data based on this schema.

This is just fine when I edit the view my self and edit template.xml and enter all my questions. It works just fine in preview mode, but when I have the form in design mode in InfoPath it complains about errors in the fields. The design checker in InfoPath 2007 also marks all my questions as errors.

How can I create a form with X questions without creating a totally worthless schema?

Please help!
