I am building a workflow using InfoPath 2007 with Blackpearl.  One one of the screens, I need to display a scrollable grid that may contain a hundred entries or more, but I want the grid to be confined to a scrollable window maybe 10 rows high.  It appears that InfoPath Scrollable Region control is not available when using Forms Services (web interfance, rather than InfoPath client) and I've not found any way to make repeating tables or repeating sections fixed height and scrollable.


Anyone have any ideas?

There are tons of limitations with using web enabled infopath forms.  Read the following:

I am personally a big fan of them however it seems like you have hit a boundary here.  I suspect you will start running into performance problems with InfoPath trying to manage hundreds of records.  Not so much from the size of the data in the form but more in regards to rules and validations that can trigger on the entire document.


Also if you are adding lots of views and .net managed code I would suggest moving over to asp.net.
