    Data to change several text fields based on Drop-Down selection

    Hi,

    I have a Sharepoint list (Calendar) that I am using as a datasource, I then have a drop-down box that feeds off that data source pulling information. For example its Course Information that will be booked into a Calendar.

    Sharepoint list columns:

    Title, Course Description, Course Owner, Cost.

    The drop-down will then only pull the 'Title', I then have textboxes underneath for the other titles that based on what the 'Title' is then I want its corresponding information to be shown in the textboxes below.

    So if someone chose course ABC in the drop-down then the Description, Owner & Cost will be shown in their seperate text fields below. Also using Sharepoint 2007 and using InfoPath 2007 & 2010

    Hi, this is a common question; what you're describing is called "cascading dropdowns". Please perform a forum or Google search for more info. I'm betting you'll find lots of how-to's and articles. If you can't find what you need, let us know. Good luck!

    Hi Ernesto, thanks for the prompt response, I'm not sure if it's cascading drop-downs to what I am trying to achieve, I've attached a screenshot of what I am trying to change with regards to the drop-down selection. Hope it helps.

    Hi Ernesto, thanks for your help, I managed to work it out, just had to play around with the filtering formula on the text boxes. Thanks.
