 [quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]See attached for what I mean - preview and in the second table (RAW view) you'll see the qty is set for as many rows as you enter in the table in view one.[/quote] Oh wow! Yes, this can work--I'll have a little dialogue box to tell the person to click until all the quantities are displayed on ...

 [quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]Can you attach your latest form? I don't see that first table in the copy I have... ?[/quote] Oh whoops! Yes I can--here's a shortened copy of what I have so far (attached). (Note I scrapped the calculating values in this version.)

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]Oh - I must have misunderstand what you wanted to happen - you wanted 3 rows in the second table if there were 3 in the first? I'm afraid IP just doesn't do that... you could add rows by default, use defaults to set the first field to your other table value, and hide blanks, but that is sort of ...

 [quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]I think that should work. You plan to have 5 rows in each table? You should be able to use count of preceding-sibling to get the right row for each.[/quote]  Yes, I set 5 rows by default, as vendors tend to provide 5 lots in their tables. However, I'm hitting another roadblock as I can't ...

 All right, thanks so much Hilary--I'm going to take a look through this site now. Another question, if you don't mind--would I be able to have the "Customer Qty" value duplicated across several views? I'm trying to make it so that the quantities don't have to be retyped for every new Vendor Pricing Table on each ...

 [quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]I don't quite understand what you mean by "a different Vendor Pricing Table per step", but give this a try. Save the linked form locally, right click & select design to open in design mode & then you can preview.[/quote] Oh, yes this is what I was looking for! I meant because I ...

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]The vendor pricing table should be repeating. You can use defaults to include 5 rows for new forms, and then disable the insert widget, if you only ever want 5 rows. It would be easier then to create a default that would get the correct price based on the qty in the other table. I'll make some mods to your ...

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]So - is this form in production yet? Or are you still developing it? Because if we normalize the schema a bit for your Vendor Pricing table, this would be a lot simpler....[/quote]  No, it is not in use yet, as I've hit a few stuck places that are in need of fixing. What do you suggest?

 [quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]  Yeah, I'd think you could do this with a default on the selected price per qty field. Can you attach a copy of your form under the options tab in a reply?[/quote]Sweet! Here it is attached. I altered the company's name to "factory" on all fields, for privacy's sake. ...

Good day everyone, This is my first time posting on the forum, and I'm quite new to Infopath. I'm currently working on creating a cost estimate (Infopath filler) form for a factory, and I'm having trouble with making rules for the lot table. Essentially, the estimate is for producing a machinery part for a customer, and requires ...
