Hi Hilary - Do you have an example for how to configure the OData Provider? I don't have this issue yet but could see it coming over time. Thanks! Scott

 Thank you Hilary.  I just needed that quick thought.  Been burnt out most of this week.  The problem was it was querying at the beginning and that is never good with SharePoint Lists, makes everything slow down on load.  I tagged it to a field that was required and once the user filled in that field it would query out ...

When do you need that info? Right before you submit? If so, maybe run your query then....make sure you are just returning the column you need (sounds like you just need the ID column). Any chance you are using SharePoint 2010? If so, you could use the OData provider to return just the current max ID, so that would definitely shorten the amount of ...

 I just figured out why its loading so slow.  It is because of a data connection to a SharePoint List.  I still need this connection because I run an autonumber off of the ID.  Is there another way to get the ID off the list?

PERFECT!!! Thank you Hillary.  Have a wonderful weekend!!!

Hello Chris, Could you attach a screenshot of your data source, including the group19 group and all its parent groups?

The user guide says: xpath: xpath to delete. It can be filtered in the case of a repeating group or field. So, the ability to use a filtered XPath is mentioned in the guide. Is there a reason that you can't just exclude the row when the form opens by setting the default? Have you tried:  Delete ...

you beat me to my question.   Yes group 19 is my repeating table.  I was looking at the user guide and it doesnt mention this.    Command = Delete /xpath=/my:myFields/my:group15/my:UpdateEstimatedDateOfReport/my:group18/my:group19[1]  didnt work though.....  probably a space issue....

Many of the commands do not have additional documentation outside of the user guide. Is group19 your repeating group? The [1] filter selects the first row of a repeating group. I'd assume that without it, Delete would also delete the first instance of the repeating group since the XPath to a repeating group without a filter generally selects ...

Yes.  I have given much consideration to the Delete command.  I have been combing this site for the user guide on the Delete command.   Haven't found it yet.   It is my assumption that the [1] is to delete the first row and not for the child group number? my Xpath all the way to the child is ...
