I have a drop-down list box (my:Question) that is bound to a secondary data connection. I have 3 filters applied which filter based upon selections the user will make on 3 other drop-down list boxes.

The data in my:Question is correct, but it's not how I want the data displayed (it's just the only way I've been able to figure out how to get it to work so far).

What I really want is the data in a repeating table. I've tried finding a way to loop through the drop-down list box and add rows to a repeating table, but haven't found a way to do this.

Any help is much appreciated.

 

 Also, I've tried creating a repeating group and a repeating control, putting the group on the form as a repeating table. I get an error at design time of (Control cannot store this data type). At runtime, the control does return the first value in the result set. I just can't figure out a way to make it repeating so shows all results.

What exactly are you trying to accomplish?  Describe what the form is attempting to do and I might have some ideas that could help your design.

Hi

If I understand you correctly you aim use three drop-down filters to filter out unwanted criteria and return the rest in a repeating table?

If that is the case and the data you need to return is in your main data source you can make the three drop-down lists bound to queryfields, and a query button that publishes all the matching criteria in a repeating table.

I have done this numerous times, if you would like some more detailed help just ask

Cheers

Hi Adam,

Yes, this is precisely what I am trying to accomplish. If you could please describe how to do this.

Thanks much,
