Sharepoint Lists and InfoPath Checkbox List

I am trying to do something relatively simple.

I have an InfoPath form that track attendance at meetings, the form contains a list of members obtained from a SharePoint list, on the right of each member I want to have a checkbox that the user fills in.

John Doe                 [  ]
Seamus Brennan    [  ]
Sandra Fahy           [  ]
Mark Gibbin             [  ]

I can get the list in there now worries, but the checkbox is proving to be an issue.

Any Ideas.

make sure you create a choice column in sharepoint then bind it to the infopath check box you create... Make sure the control is checkbox.

yes, I have tried that. The issue is that the data source is locked as is the resulting check box. As a result you cannot change the value.

When you add a check box to the repeating table/item you end up with the same checkbox for each row so when you check one they all become checked.

using code behind is not an option I'm afraid.

Are you displaying all items from the list at all times? If that is the case, each check box will need to be bound to a separate item in your list. You will need to create new check boxes for each item. Consequently, if the check box is independent from the list item, you will need to restructure your data source to reflect that.

Hi there,

I'm aware of that, however I will need to know how to accomplish that exactly.
