    Clicking on read only field selects section

    In my form I have a number of sections. When filling in the form, if a user accidentally clicks on a read only field, the section it's in is selected and the form jumps to the top of the section.

    Is there any way to stop this happening?

    I usually start by changing my section binding from a group in the data source to just a random field. Here is a blog post that discusses this with repeating sections, hopefully it will help with your section.

    Hi,

    thanks for that, it seems to solve the problem. I'm just wondering, if I surround all my repeating tables with new sections, will I then have to go and update all my formulas to reflect this?

    In general, I have found that if I add the new section to my form and copy / paste the repeating table into it, all of my conditional formatting and rules get updated correctly. As with any major change, save a backup copy of your form first, so it is easy to revert if something goes awry.
