MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / June 2005Selecting options for a numbered list
I would like to have an input view in which I have 3 options that I can independently select (i.e. 3 check boxes). I would like a print view to display only the selections I have made and put them in a numbered list. So if I select Option 1 and Option 2 I would like the print view to display: 1) Option 1 2) Option 2 However If I select Option 1 and 3, then it would show 1) Option 1 2) Option 3 any ideas would be appreciated. Thx On option (there's probably better ones) that I can think of right now would be to have a secondary data source that you copy the selected options to (and not the unselected options). Then in the print view, you can have a numbered list displayed from the repeating data in the secondary data source. The numbers will be in seqeunce as you require.

Thx Alternatively, you could put the same three checkboxes into the print view; put each of them into a separate section; setup conditional formatting on each of the sections to hide the section if the checkbox inside of it is false.

Thx I haven't tried Greg's option, but I will. I don't think I understand your option, Alex. I tried what you said, but I put the numbering outside of the sections (in order to get them to sequence). However, while the conditional formatting hide the section, the number still showed up with a blank area next to it. When I try to put the numbering inside of the section, the numbering does not continue to flow from one section to the other. Can you help me understand your option ?

Use expression boxes to come up with the numbering: for example, assume you have three checkboxes: 1) Option A 2) Option B 3) Option C Then use the following expression for these expression boxes: - Option A: number=1 - Option B: if (OptionA = true) number=2 - Option C: if (OptionA = true OR OptionB = true) number = 2. if (OptionA = true AND OptionB = true) number = 3. This scheme doesn't scale very well; if you want this to work for a larger number of options, explore adding a record to a repeating field every time an option checked, and presenting the view as a repeating table, taking use of the position() XPath function.
