Answer 1

After making your data connection to the SQL table, just drag that repeating group from the secondary data source onto your canvas, and it will make its own repeating table with the appropriate controls.

I need to create an independent check box in every row of repeating table which binding to a sql table.

Answer 4

I need to create an independent check box in every row of repeating table which binding to a sql table.

Did you try what I said?  You shouldn't have to create any checkboxes.  The data element from the SQL data connection should automatically create a checkbox unless the data type is not boolen, but you can still change the control to a checkbox but will have to translate the SQL data into some sort of Checked and Cleared values.

Yes, Cobb, I already try what you said, but actually I don't want to change any control type to checkbox which binded to any column in SQL table, I want to add a additional repeating checkbox in every row

Answer 6

You have stated twice, "binding to a sql table."  This is the first time you clearly specified that your table ONLY is bound to the SQL table and that you want to add your own extra checkbox in the main data source.  It's not easy to combine both ine one repeating table.

What makes you and some others address me as Cobb when that's my last name?  Is that customary in some cultures?
