MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / July 2004Merging nonrepeating fields? Please help!
Can I merge fields in nonrepeating secrions? For example if i have "number of loans" box on form (in non repeating section),... on merged form, I wanna in same "number of loans box" box show a summary value from from all merged documents One way is to put the Number of Loans in a Repeating section but then set the section properties so that the user cannot Insert or Delete sections. Then you can have another field or an expression box with the expression: sum(my:NumberOfLoans). As you merge the forms, this will total the values in the repeating node. This can be done in a seperate view so that the repeated (merged) fields aren't seen.

What I'm not positive about is whether you can write custom merge code for only a portion of the DOM and have InfoPath perform the defualt merge on the rest, or whether, once you choose to do a custom merge, you have to write the merge code for the entire DOM. Does anyone else know the answer to this? SignatureGreg Collins [InfoPath MVP] Please visit: http://www.InfoPathDev.com Can I merge fields in nonrepeating secrions?
