master table

[Lee Newson]

Hi,

is there a way to modify the xsl for a view which has a repeating table in
it, such that you do not have to select a row before the detail is
displayed?

i have a view in which i have bound a repeating table to a repeating group
(group 1), which in turn references at least 1 item from a at least 1 other
repeating group (groups a - e).

using the master/detail works great when we are actually using info path as
it means we do not have to do loads of scrolling, however i am trying to
create a print view that for each item in group1 displays the relevant
items from groups a -e .

i have done this to the extent that in the repeating table in design view i
have only one column and i have put the bound group in here as a section
with controls, then in the section i have placed repeating sections for
groups a - e, and set them up as details. this works great as far as the
relevant information for group 1 items from groups a - e, are displayed in
the right places, however the details from the groups will only appear if i
click on the row in the table... but i need to print all of it for summary
reports!! doh!!

I have been working on this for the last couple of days (basically banging
my head against a brick wall) so i am sorry if this doesnt make total sense,
but i have tried to describe what i am trying to achieve. basically a
master/detail view that doesnt involve having to select a row for the
details to appear.

I have already tried doing this using repeating sections and filters, but to
no avail. each item from group 1 displayed fine but the items that were
relevant to the group 1 items (groups a - e) got displayed for each group 1
item eg

it looks like this:

and should look like this:

Thanks for any and all help you can provide, it will be greatly appreciated.

This should be possible by changing the outer 'layer' from a Master / Detail
to a Repeating Section in the print view. Would it be possible for you to
send me your xsn?

(Just take the "online." out of the address below...)
