How sample template provides sum of column?

[Fred Boer]

Hi!

I have taught myself to create a repeating table. I want to create a textbox
in the footer of the table which will provide a running sum of the values in
the column. I want to duplicate the functionality which you can see in the
Sample Template "Expense Report: Domestic", which InfoPath 2003 provides.

I figured out a way to do this using the following steps:

Add a layout.
Add a repeating table.
Enable display of repeating table footer.
Add new text field in footer.
In new footer field place formula "sum(field3)".

BUT... when I look at the template I can find no formulas anywhere.. and it
has a couple of controls that *must* use formulas. How do they do it?

Thanks!

Fred

Hey Fred,
Some of the samples for InfoPath 2003 use jscript code to achieve some of
their functionality
