InfoPath Dev

In my InfoPath 2010 Filler Form, I have a repeating section (called 'Security') which contains a Rich Text Box (called 'Description') that has a data type of "Rich Text (XHTML)".

In another repeating section (called 'Request'), there's a drop down list (called 'SecuritySelection') that is populated with all of the entries from the previous repeating section (from 'Security').  When the user makes a selection for 'SecuritySelection', an action rule is executed which copies the rich text from 'Security'|'Description' to another Rich Text Box (called 'RequestDescription').  'RequestDescription' also has a data type of "Rich Text (XHTML)".

When I display/print the 'RequestDescription' rich text box, all formatting has been lost.  I would expect that when you copy data from one rich text field to another that any formatting present would stay in place.  However, that doesn't appear to be the case in this situation.

Is there a no-code solution to maintain the formatting?  Is there maybe a form setting that could be set incorrectly?

Thanks in advance.

After performing additional research, it appears a no-code solution is not possible.  So now I'm attempting to add some VB code via VSTA.  My VB skills aren't very good.  What would be the syntax for copying formated text from 1 field to another?

Thanks.

 Rather than writing your own code, which can easily turn into a big maintenance hassle, I recommend trying qRules. It has a CopyRichText command specifically for this purpose and will have you up and running in no time.
