Hi,

I am looking to create a control with master/detail relationship and ran
into some road blocks. Can anyone help?

a. Is it possible to use master/control with a secondary data source?
b. How would I create, if I want to have a master with only one dropdown
list of all possible values. When selected from one of the values for the
master, I want to see all the corresponding data in the detail section. When
I try to do this, I see that I can do this with a repeating table as master,
but that shows all the rows in the form. I only wanted to see a drop down
list with one row and not multiple rows.

Thanks,
Partha

Hello again

secondary data source and Master/Detail = yes

If you are looking to use a dd list box rather than a repeating table then
the master detail control is not for you.

Use a repeating table control for you equivalent master control.  Then in
your ddlist box, set it's default value to the field from the secondary data
source and filter it according to the value you selected from the repeating
table.

This should help you out
