Maybe I can ask this question in a more generic way.

The problem I'm having seems to stem from how Infopath treats a repeating
section. It seems that I need to bind a repeating section to a repeating
group in the data source and any controls, such as textboxes, within the
repeating section that need to be bound to data, need to use data that is
part of the repeating group.

So lets say I want to initialize one of the textboxes in my repeating
section with a title. This title is to be looked up from a web service and
there will be a different title for each section (The number of titles will,
in fact, dictate the number of sections). This value shouldn't need to be in
my main data source as it isn't user data that needs to be saved, but it
seems that infopath forces me to put that data into the main data source if I
want to use it in the repeating section.

This makes it hard to initialize the repeating section portion of the form
because I can't just pull the values from a secondary data source and bind to
it, I have to account for this data in my main data source and use code to
insert the initial values. This works but it ends up being quite a bit of
work and it seems clumsy.

Does this sound right? Is there another way of coming at this?

Thanks
