issue with multi select list box and web service

[dr]

i'm using a web service as the primary data source for my form. i have a
repeating field defined in the web service as a string. when i try to
associate the multi select list box to this field i get the msg "a
multiple-selection list box control must be bound to a repeating field with a
text data type". any thoughts would be appreciated

Hello,

As per your message, whichever you are binding the field should be
repeating. As of your schema it is repeating node or section? Can you check
once is that multi selection field is under repeating section rather itself
repeating node or not?
First you have to add the section that is above (parent) of your multi
selection node.

shiva, thanks for your response. i resolved my problem by changing the class
declaration in the web service. i initially had a class with a reference to
an array of tracts - a class containing a string variable. i changed the
class to reference an array of strings. can't say i understand why my first
option doesn't work - it's a repeating section that resolves to a string.


public partial class tbl
{
private Tracts[] TractUIDField;
