Can I autopopulate a ruch text box from a Sharepoint List. My list isn't
allowing this at the moment.

Thanks in advance

I would suggest a repeating section or repeating table - they seem to
reflect the repeating nature of the SharePoint list better than the rich
text box.

Hi,

Its more a case of the formatting. When I make a data connection InfoPath
will recognise text boxes, but not rich text boxes. It just doesn't find
them. I would like to be able to use dot points and other rich text features
and then autopopulate a rich text box in my form with the same formatting.

Try the bulleted lists? I'm afraid the rich text box is not designed for
what you're trying to do.

Doing this with a rich text box seems possible, but would require coding.
Bind the rich text box to some node, i.e. field1; then, with code, set
field1 to append all nodes from the resultsetl, and format the result as you
wish.

Good luck,
Alex
