filling out data from one repeating item into another

[OrenS]

Hi,
I am pretty new to InfoPath. I think it's a great tool and would like to
integrate it in my organization. I would like to know if it is possible to
solve the following problem without resorting to VB/C#? (if so I would really
appriciate the way to do it)

I have an XML that looks like (the XML is under development so I can change
it / split into several XMLs, etc.):
<root>
<functions>
<function name="open"/>
<function name="close"/>
</function>
<products>
<product name="prod1">
<functions>
<function name="open" state="supported"/>
<function name="close" state="unsupported"/>
</functions>
</product>
...


Each proudct should have information about all the functions that are
specified at the beginning of the file. Is there a way to create a form that
will automatically create entries for each function when a new product is
inserted (so the user will only need to fill out the form data)?

I saw something similar at:
http://blogs.msdn.com/timpash/archi...ce-to-a-child-table-in-a-main-datasource.aspx

and I am hoping there is a simpler way of doing this.

I would really appriciate any help I can get on this.

thanks,
Oren

Sorry. You will likely need code to accomplish what you want to do.
