title: Infopath 2010 - Create a repeating block from each item in an array on form load
body: <p>Please forgive me if I don't explain this well.  I'm new to Infopath.  Here goes!</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>Overall Goal:  Create an infopath form that will generate an email, eliminating certain 'human error' problems that we've been having.</p></li>
  <li><p>Problem:  Automatically creating a new repeating block for each item in the list/array.
  The list would be something like:</p></li>
  </ul>
  
  <p>PROPERTY NAME = Prop 1, Prop 2, Prop 3, etc.</p>
  
  <p>Below is the entire block of data that I want to repeat.</p>
  
  <pre> 
  <strong>*PROPERTY NAME*</strong> – OPEN or CLOSED
  Hours – XX:XX AM ET – XX:XX PM ET
  No incidents open
  IMxxxxxx - Incident details | Status: Red
  <br /> 
  </pre>
  
  <p>This entire block needs to be repeated for each property we own.  Now, while I know that I could create multiple blocks for each property manually, that makes creation and maintenance of the form time consuming .  Ideally, I'd like the form to read the property's from a list or array, and insert the name into each new block when the form loads up.  The rest of the info would be filled out by the user of the form. This way, if we ever add or change a property, I or someone else can easily update the form by simply adding the new item to the list/array.</p>
  
  <p>I have been Google'ing this for hours today and I think my problem with search results boils down to my lack of knowledge of the proper terminology.  </p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have any ideas?</p>
