Infopath form views

[Emily]

Another view question, I am hoping there is a efficient way of doing these
views. I have an excel file that is being converted to infopath. There are
12 sheets of different type of jobs on those pages with different criteria
but they all have the same fields. The data is different. I am aware of
being able to copy controls on each view but that carries data entered from
the first page. How do I prevent the fields that has data in other view
from being copied. If I change it in one view, it changes in all views.
Please help, thanks.

In InfoPath views are just ways of representing data, collections of controls
that are bound to data fields. Your Data fields are the same through out the
whole form.

In Excel it sounds like you have 12 pages of Fields in one view or sheet.
If you want to show lots of fields or data then you need a repeating table or
more fields. Switching views does not switch data unless you reference
different fields with the controls.

You may want to look at building the form without importing from Excel. If
