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,
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.
