MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2005Creating Template Similar to Asset Tracking
I'm trying to create a template similar to the Asset Tracking Template but I'm having problems getting the views to work correctly. I think it has to do with the preserve code block. I've found some information on how this works but I still can't figure it out. I did extract the files for the Asset Tracking template and my template figuring I could compare them and figure this out. I think I'm making some progress but if someone could shed some light on this that would be great. I don't have very much experience writing code so the more detail you can provide the better. Thanks!  Signature-ridawg One easy solution is to have a field (usually in a secondary data source) which stores the selection when the user clicks the button in the repeating table. Then the view switches, and a repeating section is presented which is filtered on the value of the field storing the selection.

Thanks! Signature-ridawg Greg - thanks for the info. I'm pretty close to figuring this out. So far I've been able to duplicate the asset template using the preserve code block as it did. The one problem I seem to be having though is the asset template creates a unique id but it doesn't actually display the id in the individual asset view. For some reason my template displays the unique id even though the field is not part of the view.

Carefully review the view in the designer to find where this is coming from, and then remove it.
