i m totally new for infopath,
i have a form where a repeating table bind with data source, connected to DB.
Table in DB is more than 5000 rows.
what i want to do : i need a hyperlink or control button in each row for
edit/delete the row.
but in binded repeating table, can't able to add hyperlink or button.
if i use hyperlink or button outside repeating table, that one not increased
as per
repeating table increased after adding some data.

i think i clear all things, please give me solution for this
without coding (programming), if possible.

one more thing : is there any control to show large tables in pages or
scrolling,
in my infopath 2007 there is no scrolling section apears..

thanks

Hi Arun.

Is this form built from scratch as a database type form?
If so you can edit with out a button.
Ideally you need Web Services so that you can query rows dynamically and
submit them back to your DB.

I would recommend the Database Accelerator from http://www.qdabra.com
It is an installable set of web services which you can use without code to
interact with your data.

Check out the Scrolling Region Control so that you can pan over large tables.

With InfoPath your data is loaded to the form and each view is just a
different view of the same data.
So in each of your view you can have a repeating table with the data and
then configure the control to be read-only or allow updates by the view or by
logic.  You can actually have confitional formatting with one view and
depending on the user they would have various rights.

If you want to have a master - detail type of thing that takes a bit more
but still very doable.

If you need a few hours of design help on your form you can purchase some
credits at the Qdabra Store. http://www.qdabra.com
