How do I populate text boxes in a repeating table when the user makes a
selection from a list box in that row?

Thanks for the help

Hi,

1)Right Click on Text box. And select Properties.
2)In Properties, click “fx” button. Then you will get “Insert Formula” window.
3)Click Insert Field or Group.
4)Then select the list box field. Click ok three to close all windows.

Sorry Swathi, wasn't clear in my request.

I have xml data as below. I would like it so the user selects an item from a
description list box this then populates 3 other text boxes (price, per and
comments) with the data for that row.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root>
    <External>
        <Description>Item1</Description>
        <Price>80.00</Price>
        <Per>m2</Per>
        <Comments>Fine</Comments>
    </External>
    <External>
        <Description>Item2</Description>
        <Price>350.00</Price>
        <Per>ea</Per>
        <Comments>Blue</Comments>
    </External>
    <External>
        <Description>Item3</Description>
        <Price>972.00</Price>
        <Per>ea</Per>
        <Comments>Red</Comments>
    </External>
</Root>

Hey Brad.

You need to use the current() function.  It will allow you to access the
data from the row they select.

You can find lots of tutorials and blogs on this at http://www.infopathdev.com
