Not sure, but can Infopath be used to enter many values of the same field to
populate other fields. Ex. an online store checkout section where you enter
in the item number(s) and the item description and price fields automatically
fill. I am able to do this for only one item, I cannot determine how to set
up the form to allow a user to enter many item numbers. Does anyone know how
to do this or is it even possible. Thanks!

Yes it is possible do fill in many values based on one value. You can have a
function on a field which returns a value when some other fields value is
changed.

In the control where the initial value is entered click on rules, then set
the condition so if a particular value is choosen the rule will be applied.
Then Click on Action, and you can select to enter the value of another field.
Then choose the field (i.e. Price) and enter the value.

I forgot to mention that I am connected to a data source and I want the form
to allow users to enter in  item numbers, and then the form should populate
the fields with the data for multiple items. here is a sample of what I am
trying to do...

ex.  enter item # (box would be here)
      enter item # (box would be here)
      "                                           "

output would be:

headers: item #         Price                   location                    
             item#          price from DB      location from DB
             item#          price from DB      location from DB
             item#          price from DB      location from DB

like i said before, I was able to do this for one single item, I am not sure
how to do this for multiple items. Your output is greatly appreciated. thanks
