I have a dropdown list box in a repeating section of an InfoPath 2003 form.
The field is linked to a SharePoint 2007 list with a Description column
(single line text) and a Value column (number field). Each record in the
SharePoint list has a unique Description entry but several have the same
number in the Value field. I created a secondary data connection in InfoPath
and linked the SharePoint Description column to the Display Name field of the
InfoPath drop-down list box and the Value column to the Value field of the
list box. The problem is that when I select a description from the drop-down
list, it jumps to a different item that has the same Value entry as the one I
selected. I need the Value entry for a calculation in another field in the
InfoPath form but I still need to see the chosen Description in the drop down
list. Any suggestions?
