    Export or copy data from rows(fields) of a repeating table to auto populate on opening the next form

    I am trying to devise a way to copy data (export) out of a particular field (ie: ending cash total) in each row of a repeating table on one browser enabled form template upon submitting it and automatically populate a different field (ie: starting cash total) of a repeating table upon opening the next instance of the form. The data copied out of the first form's table would need to have a separate designator (ID) for each row and a value from a field in that row. This data would then need to be populated into the same designator (ID) but a different field in that row on the next opened instance of that form template. Sounds a little complicated, but in reality its kind of a store and forward type of transaction. Can anyone help me please or give some pointers on if this conceptual idea is possible within InfoPath and Sharepoint? Thanks

    I wonder if there is a way to do what you want with promoted properties? If your field is a number / decimal in the form, you can promote the sum of the repeating table to the library. Then it is just a matter of knowing what instance of that you need in your new form (same customer or ID of some kind) and you can query for data from the form library.
