Hey all,

Is it possible to change the label on button dependant on the value selected on a drop down list?

In a button's properties, you can click the fx button to tie the text on the button to the value of any field.  Just create a field that's not shown on the form to store the value that will appear on the button. Then all you need to do is add a rule to the dropdown box to set that field to the necessary value whenever an item in the dropdown box is selected.

Not in infopath 2003 :(

Hi,

Add the following lines in view.xsl. Search with the button id. You will find some thing like

<input class="langFont" title="" type="button" xd:CtrlId="CTRL1_5" xd:xctname="Button" tabIndex="0" value="Button">

Replace the above line with the following.

<input class="langFont" title="" type="button" xd:CtrlId="CTRL1_5" xd:xctname="Button" tabIndex="0">

<xsl:attribute name="value">

<xsl:value-of select="my:field1"/>

</xsl:attribute>

</input>

Here my:field1 is the drop down field xpath.

Note: Make sure to have a back up file before doing this.
