I am new to infopath and am trying to design a form for use in a help
desk scenario. Thsi will have repeating groups where support people
will add detail relating to updates on the support request (detail,
re-assignment, satus changes etc). I am storing the data in a SQL
database  and will use webservices in the system.

I have been through the infopath training on MSDN where the repeating
controls are not demonstrated where a webservice is used. I have
started my project where the webservice returns an object (Issue
Object). How can I now cater for the variable repeating sections that
will emerge? Am I taking the wrong approach? So far I have not opened /
designed the InfoPath form in Visual Studio but wonder if I will need
to do this so I can bundle up the data in the repeat fields into the
object having iterated these sections. Hopefully someone can point me
to a sample that will assist? Is there a MVP out there??

Thanks in advance.

Did you also take a look at the following lab?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/office/understanding/infopath/training/default.aspx?pu
ll=/library/en-us/odc_ip2003_tr/html/odc_inf_lab_09.asp


It demonstrates how to create a web service that receives data from and
submits data to a database using a DataSet and a repeating table.

You may want to try reposting your question on the InfoPathDev.com forum if
you want an answer from an MVP.
