    Infopath 2010 browser based form creating a "Report/Print" View with repeating tables

    We are trying to make a view that takes some repeating sections (Seeds) but inserts other repeating data that is entered from another tab/vew that is associated with the Repeating (Seeds) section to create our "Report" view

    So we have a repeating section and the submitted data may have 2-3 of these repeating sections (the user added the repeating section 3 times) We have other data that is associated with that same section but when we add it to our view it is at the end of the 3 repeating sections. What we want is to have the appropriate associated data for each repeating section to be shown with that section not at the end of all 3.

    We have tried putting it as a repeating table within the section with a filter rule but it works for the 1<sup>st</sup> but then it hides the rest it does not show this repeating section

    This is how I get the report view:

    Seed Project 1 (repeating section)

    Seed Project 2 (repeating section)

    Seed Project 3 (repeating section)

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 1 (repeating section)

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 1 (repeating section)

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 2 (repeating section)

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 2 (repeating section)

    Report View should be formatted like this:

    Seed Project 1

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 1

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 1

    Seed Project 2

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 2

    Grants Associated w/Seed Project 2

    Seed Project 3

    Any suggestions on how to make the view for reporting/printing to group the associated data together would be great

    If the schema is project based, you should consider changing your schema so that you have a main repeating node that is project and then another repeating node under it for grants.  From a design standpoint, this will make sense since all of the data will be tied to the associated project and it will make creating your print view much simpler.

    thanks for the suggestion.

    That is what we have done is nesting the repeating section within each other and then they are properly associated with the parent section.
