Horizontal layout of information

[Brett]

I ,have a need to present repeating data in a horizontal format kind of like
what you would get in Excel. Without having to write a supercomplex xslt, I
would like to know how this can be accomplished and when greater
functionality will be available within InfoPath. An example of what I need to
do is to see product info side by side while maintaining the functioanlity of
a master detail control etc.

Thank you,
Brett

Take a look at the following Blog entry which uses filters.

You can adapt what was done to suit your needs. The only down side is you'd
have to know the maximum number of columns to be repeated horizontally. You
could probably "fix" this in code or in the XSL.

This uses filtering to accomplish something similar to what you're looking
for. The downside is you'd need to know the maximum number of columns to be
repeated horixontally. You could probably adapt this in code or in the XSL
to be more flexible.
