I created a form where the primary drop down (user) drives associated text
boxes (last name, first name, etc) and auto-populates from a database, and
the infopath entries are in a repeating table. It works AOK in 2007 (each
line drop down drives each associated piece of the table), however in 2003
those text fields remain blank. The lookup code referenced is below:

@Employee_Last_Name[@Employee_Name = current()/../@Auditor]

The same reference style but with other fields is used throughout the
InfoPath form. As mentioned, in 2003 these fields remain blank, and if you
rebuild the lookup / filter in 2003, it only populates based on the first
entry of the dropdown in the table, not on each row.

Any help would be appreciated!

I found a "workaround" for the problem. Basically in the primary drop down,
I added a rule that sets the subsequent fields based on the item chosen,
rather than referencing the source field and auto-populating from the
destination side. Everything works, and the user can pick the item,
everything fills in correctly for each row, and everyone is happy.
