Insert a master/detail control

You can use the master/detail control to link one control to another, so that the selection in the first control determines what appears in the other.

A master/detail control is actually a set of two related controls. One control is the designated master control, and the other is the detail. The master control is always a repeating table. The detail control can be either a repeating table or a repeating section.

Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 provides a predefined master/detail control that you can insert by using the Controls task pane. You can also create a master/detail control by inserting a repeating table and repeating section (or two repeating tables) and then changing the properties for each control.
