Insert lines into a repeating table

[Steve]

I am trying to add several rows to a repeating table that is bound to a
secondary data source (xml doc). As a secondary data source ther is no
XCollection name to use. Any thoughts?

Hi Steve,

Secondary Data Source means what it says, it is primarily designed for
filling out data in the form e.g. drop down lists.

Depending on what your main data source is you may be able to include the
secondary data as part of it and also have the data as a secondary data
source.

Otherwise, you can always make a separate form for updating secondary sources.

Thank you for the response. I am becoming keenly aware of what Microsoft
wants me to do with the Secondary Data Source. Are you aware of any best
practices of Infopath against a star schema, (Web Service is not available,
because it is all off-line). The only thing I can think of is either use a
view or on-load write everything into an xml doc (use that as my main data
source) and then tie out the two data sources as actions take place.

Thoughts?
