Why cant I filter a repeating table using a Sharepoint list in infopath 2007?
Hi,
I'm using infopath 2007 and sharepoitn 2007 (no infopath form services). The compatibility mode in infopath is NOT set to browser-enabled.
When I create a repeating table and connect it to receive data from a sharepoint 2007 custom list, the option to filter that data (on the display tab in the table properties area) disappears... so essentially it will only return ALL records from the list.
That is not really desirable... I want to filter it based on the value of another control in the form, which seems to be what infopath is designed to help with.
What am I doing wrong? :(

InfoPath
Microsoft InfoPath is a software application for designing, distributing, filling and submitting electronic forms containing structured data. The product features a WYSIWYG form designer in which the various controls (e.g. textbox, radio button, checkbox) are bound to data, represented separately as a hierarchical tree view of folders and data fields. All the data stored in InfoPath forms are stored in an XML format. Secondary data sources can be built into the form or they can be accessed through an external data connection to SharePoint or a Web service.
