Infopath - mixing repeating and non-repeating sections?
In Infopath, I am creating a form using the SharePoint List template. I have chosen the option to have repeating sections.
The form contains the following:-
At the top - a drop down list of site names.
Below this is an 11 x 5 table (each cell containing a text field)
What I need:-
The user should select the site name JUST ONCE.
The user should be able to click on 'Insert item' and this will add another copy of the table BUT NOT another drop down for the site name.
At the moment, when 'Insert Item' is clicked, both the Site Name drop down and the table are duplicated.
How can I achieve this? Is it even possible?

Make sure your drop down is not with in the repeating table section.

That's the problem though. If I place it outside of a repeating section, another repeating section automatically appears around the control.
You may have to use a form with a Form library. I am currently working on a form that is published to a Form library and I publish the date to the Form Library list. I have drop downs and text boxes in the upper section and then I use a repeating table. Would this work for your requirement?
I meant to say I publish the data to the list.

That's not really going to work for me. This form is to be used by over 30+ members of staff daily, and trying to publish that much data every day would be a headache.
