Reply Contact That worked great. However, when i update the info in the database, it does not update the info displayed within the dropdown box on an existing form. I tried converting it to a text box, but I get the same results. I'm using infopath 2003, would it make a difference if I used the infopath 2007. 06-10-2010 07:57 AM In reply to Lawson Joined on 12-23-2009 Virginia Posts 91 Re: Data Connection Drop down list box Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer...
