you can do it for sections and repeating sections as will if you go to Tools>Form Options. Click on the defualt values button. Unchecking the checkbox next to a field will make it collapsed by default.

Can you filter your drop down so that it excludes everything that doesnt match F1 or G1 etc?

what do you mean, one-to-many relationships kill the data connection? I have 40+ tables in my main connection and it works fine.

I have a knack for finding the Rube Goldberg way of doing things sometimes, this may be one. I'm not familar with sharepoint, but I'm assuming it has a primary key field like that in access. If thats the case: Have a repeating section bound to a table in access or something. Make sure theres an extra field in the table, call it ...

I'm rebuilding my original cancer tracking form, because, frankly, it sucked, and the orthopedic surgeon is gone this week, and its hard to work on it without him. anyways, done with my life story.

The doctor clicks on the Shoulder Exam button, a new shoulder exam shows. However, if the doctor doesnt click on the shoulder exam button, then ...

The hospital that I work for did not approve loading the InfoPath SDK onto my computer. Because I see so much potential for the application I am developing, I bought a laptop and bring that into the hospital to do my work on. I installed the Wizard, registered the two files, and ran the wizard. However, when it comes time to develop the xsl ...

I think the moderators should make a new forum for things that tweak people while using InfoPath. For instance, today, I was using a scrolling section for the first time and it was driving me nuts. In Design mode, this is not user friendly at all. Clicking off the scroll bar and clicking back on resulted in the scroll bar automatically going to ...

So I created a secondary connection from the main table, and populated the text box through the secondary connection. Thanks for the help, and thanks for making me aware of that ingenius current() ...
