Wonderful! I have been searching for the solution for a half year...

I figured it out. In SharePoint 2010 the fields are set up in two groups - query and data - so the field names are prefaced with d: or q: In my case the XPath looked like this..

xdXDocument:GetDOM("ClientInfo")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:Title[../d:ID = current()]

I can get this to work wonderfully with an xml file - but when I try to attach it to a SharePOint list as the data source it gives me an error.

I saw this post www.infopathdev.com/.../16494.aspx

and they said to add @ signs - however that is not working for me and I wonder if perhaps it's different in 2010. Help anyone?

Thanks! Karen

Hello,

thank you for this great tutorial. It works very fine. I just have one problem, with fields that contain more than one value. In that case, either the first value is taken or - what is very funny - a new number-value is generated in the list of possible text-values of the column. Is there a possibility to also use "look-up" fields with many values?

Thanks for reply,

Murphy

Got it....I had something wrong with my souce data.

Quick question tho..... Is there a way to set a default value of the drop down?

My form pulls user data from their LAN profile. I also have the matching data in my source file. I don't want the drop down box...I just want the form to crap the record from the source data that matched the LAN profile data.

Any help?

I am still having some trouble with this.

I think this is my problem:

[../ID = current()]

Can someone tell me about correct syntax? What is "ID" is that the name of the field name from the external data source?

I don't think a data connection like that can pull in an image, but I haven't tried it either.

On a side note,

Would taking this idea and applying it to adding an image from the current node to the form be possible? Or can you just add text data?

Basically I wasn't editing the Xpath.

Once I clicked on "Advanced" and added this statement:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Clients")/ClientInfo/Clients/Client/Name[../ID = current()]

Everything worked fine.

I was assuming that this part: [../fieldName

was an abreviation of something that only pertained to his schema which of course was incorrect. Didn't realize that [../ was actually part of the syntax.

Thanks again for the help. This was becoming a major thorn.

Great, Jason. Do you mind sharing what you changed to get it working?
