Jimmy,  I wanted to report back and let you know all the help you gave me is working perfectly.  I was able to build the form and had my admin input the data, we saved it as template.xml and it opens up and works way faster than my first attempt at the form.  It streamlined even the building of the form.  Now I'm off to ...

Quick question, I'm now creating the new areas in my form for each section for instance: Administration (Group) Header (Group) Areas (Group) DptDGA (Group)Education (Group) I then referenced the Header/Areas/DptDGA from Admin to Edu.  So then all my new referenced fields are still bound to Admin, I right click and bind to the new Groups ...

 That did it.  I followed how you counted for the TNA and was able to set up a count for my new area DptDGA Autonumber. Thanks for all your help. 

 Ok, one more and I think I won't have any questions for a while.  The Autonumber for the new layout.  I was trying to get it to work on my own, but it seems to return errors if I try to use preceding siblings for the new layout.   Edit:  I added a new item DptDGA since It will sum up all the DGA's for each ...

That worked perfectly.  Thanks Jimmy.  I will be able to start building my form from here.  I have an admin who is going to be filling out the data and saving the admin template.  Should I have her hold off until I finish the whole thing in case changes are made, or is it ok for her to start saving the template.xml while ...

Yes, each row is numbered, I will post a jpg, the form should number each row, and it was working before until I moved everything into the repeating section. 

It looks like it works so far.  I can see how my first attempt was surely a newb way.  This forum is great.  I will post what I have so far.  I am going to work on my Surgery and Lab Areas since those seem to bog down the system the most to see if this helps.  I'm a little perplexed on how to get my autonumber field to ...

Now that I'm getting deeper into this newer version of my form I have a couple of questions.  Say I have an area with multiple room types like in my surgery group.  Can I do a repeating section with my repeating table inside of it, feel it out and save it as the template? 

I had put that rule in because I wanted to test a data connection to an external Access Database that i couldn't get to work.  hopeing to populate those static text boxes with the data from the database.  it never really works for some reason.  maybe i'm not doing it the right way.  other than that yes, my original ...

The names are static, the only variables would be in the quantities, unit areas and comments.  It is also nice that it's repeating since there maybe some additional rooms added.  I've got someone working on converting the excel into an access database now, but I haven't been successful in populating the form with ...
