    Using different SP lists based on user drop-down selection

    Reply Contact

    Hi,

    I have an InfoPath 2007 form where the user has to select a country and then based on this selection the same drop-down field appears, but the data source (for the content) is different - based on the country.

    For instance:

    Country= Germany, SP List=Germany

    Country=UK, SP List=UK

    once country is selected, the next drop-down uses the specified SP list.

    Hope this makes sense...Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Thanks

    The simplest way to tackle this problem, I think, is to have multiple dropdowns in your form. They are all hidden when the form loads. When the user selects a value for Country, then you can call the SharePoint list data connection for that country and show the content in the form. Does that sound reasonable?
