Hi Aakashn, Well, I'd use two sections. The second sectoin (below the first) is read-only and shows the log entries in decending order. The first section is just one entry and allows edit. If you need to sort the sections, you can use Qdabra's qRules to sort without code. Best of luck!

Hi JoeManc, Sorry to hear you're having problems. InfoPath's built-in support for databases is bad because it assumes a direct connection and that causes problems when schemas change. In addition, a direct connetion limits you to SQL data types. Best practice here is to use a Web Service. So, given you've slaved away at this problem ...
