Show List items in an Infopath Form

Hi Experts,

I have an infopath form that I want employees to be able to open and answer some questions in a comments field under each question.

My problem is that I want the question to come from a list in the same subsite, but when employees answer the questions, does not send anything back to the list.

It will basically be a one stop shop where you can update and add questions that will automatically be displayed in any new forms.

Im guessing this would be using a repeating table, but how do you integrate data connections and form data in the one repeating table?

I know my wording isnt that clear, but struggling to put to paper what I want.

Thanks,
Lance

Hello,

Infopath MVP Patrick Halstead has a series of youtube clips on that topic. Go to http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL581899A129522F53 and scroll down to  

InfoPath Surveys Part 1 - May 31, 2012 Webinar

then watch all the clips in sequence. They're worth it!

Thanks Teylyn,

Was hoping for a solution not on YouTube (locked down at work). Are you able to suggest anything else?

Thanks,
Lance
Lance, Can you give me more details? I'm not following you what you need. If need be draw it out and attach a picture here and I'll see what I can do to help you.
Hello,

I have an infopath form that is going to be basically a survey. It will have questions that prompt the user and then a comments box underneath each question.

I have placed all the questions in a list and I want to populate that form with the question from the list.

My problem is, I can have them appearing in the form using a repeating table, but the comments box cannot contain comments which are also attached to the external source and keep that user inputted info in the saved form.
