How do I set up a control that allows the user to select multipleentries from a list?

[Larry W. Virden]

I am building an InfoPath that will be published to a SharePoint doc
library for browser accessible use.
One of the Data connections I have created is to a custom SharePoint
list of country names.
In the InfoPath form, I want to present this list in a manner that
allows the user to select one or more countries from the list.

The multiple select listbox is not compatible with a browser based
form. The listbox and dropdown listbox controls do not permit
multiple items to be selected. I don't know how to generate a series
of checkboxes based on a list.

What is a viable solution for creating a browser based InfoPath
application and a multiple choice list of items based on a SharePoint
list?

Hey Larry,
perhaps put the Country drop down in a repeating section this way a user can
add a row each time they want to select another country. It's not a multi
select box per-se but should yield the same results in the back end.


Hope this helps
Cheers

Thanks - that happens to be how I have currently implemented this. I
haven't been able, yet, to see the results, but I am hoping to get to
that point soon.

This is looking pretty good.

I appreciate your help.
