Yes, the descriptions are coming from the my:Activities group, which, along with my:Code, I set up using InfoPath's Default Values dialog. The logic in the form comes from: All three repeating fields being bound to the same my:Activies group Section controls inside the third repeating section, all also bound to the my:Activities ...

Hi Misterchris, I already had this problem, it's really annoying [quote user="MisterChris"]  Infopath seems to have created duplicate columns for the promoted fields - this appears to happen randomly. I see no way to keep Infopath from doing this. [/quote] The best way to prevent it, is to check on each field that ...

Hi ergnagaraj, you can use the "Fx" button on default value and then use a formula. in your case you can use sum() function and select all the fields you want to calculate. After that when you publish your form, you can add your total column to a sharepoint column.

Have you thought about using option buttons for this? With option buttons you can only select one.

I have form libray in SharePoint with about a thousand forms that have been filled out by sales reps.  If I make changes to the template (.xsn) and then republish it to that form library will Iose data in those existing forms?  Or will I only lose data if those fields are changed? Thanks, Joel Sandel

Is there a way to do this at the section level? The alternative is to set up 9 individual conditions on EACH control stating that if one of the other items is checked...then ...
