How can I get a repeating table to repeat say 12 times and then start again
on a new page, The table seems to ignore page breaks

Put the page break into a section. Add conditional formatting to the section with a condition to hide if "position() mod 12 != x".

I didn't test out the exact numbers... but you can play with it. Using mod will allow you to only have the page break show up every X row.

Hi Greg

thanks for reply,but still having problems :- basically I have a repeating
table positioned at the top of a form, the repeating table contins 6 fields.
I should like the user to insert say 12 records into the table and then any
additional records to start on a new page. I have inserted a page break
immediately below the table (within a section + conditional formatting as
suggested and  2nd trial without a section) however configured the page break
is not recognised allowing the table to create more than the required number
of records per page.

I would be grateful of any further suggestions

Many Thanks
paulb

Forgive me if I misunderstood, but it sounds as though you are trying to use page breaks in edit mode. This is not what they are designed for. They only work when printing. Pages only refer to printing. Views are for editing. You don't dynamically generate a new view--for this you would use filters or other such things--maybe something like this: http://www.infopathdev.com/downloads/free/default.aspx?i=4e0c956598c14f40bc15629

If I misunderstood, please state so.
