    Is there an easier way?

    I am creating a questionaire form. I am using a table to format the field sizes. 2 fields: combo box and text box. In the middle column of the table I type in the question. Is there an easy way to copy the table row to make a new question without having to re-add the cb and tb fields, turning on wrap text, etc. It seems like there should be a way to easily copy rows to create new questions without having to manually do them one by one. Also is there a way to have the cb populated with choice from a default list of choices, so that I dont need to retune the same choices for each cb? I know you an do this to a sharepoint list, but can the list just point to list that is contained in the form? Thanks, MattG

    For the first question: the combo box and text box need to first be added to the schema (data source) and then added to the design canvas. I don't think InfoPath offers a copy/paste operation that will both add the fields in the canvas AND add the nodes in the data source.

    For your second question: you can populate from an XML. This tutorial might help, but there are others online.

    Good luck!
