    How to bind a control in InfoPath form to multiple data sources?

     Hi All,

    Is it possible to bind a control in InfoPath form to multiple data sources. If yes, how?

    How to use same textbox, checkbox, date controls, etc.. to use different data sources, so that the controls get populated from various sources during different times.

    No, this isn't possible.  You have a few alternatives:

    Place multiple similar-looking controls on the form with different bindings, and use conditional formatting to hide all but one at any given time

    or

    Create a secondary (embedded XML) data source and bind the controls to fields in this data source, setting its values to and from various sources at the relevant times.

    Thanks Jimmy. I have redesigned the form accordingly.
