    Optional Section

    I am using an optional section with a repeating table that has over 8 sections of repeating tables which I show/hide using conditional formatting.  I want to hide the optional section on open, then allow user to click to see the section.  This is working correctly in my first section but subsequent section (section 2, 3, 4, and so on), are not showing the insert link and the section is displayed.  In their properties, they are set the same as the first section.  How do I get all optional sections to behave the same?  Do I need to put a unique optional section in each section to achieve this?

     Update:  adding a new optional section control didn't make a difference. 

     Still need to know if this can behave the way I want it to.

    Solution is to uncheck the Optional Section control in the Default properties (I am using InfoPath 2007): Tools > Default Values.  Uncheck the Option Section control whereever you don't want it to appear on form load.
