    InfoPath Generated Webpage

    I am using InfoPath with a contact list (we use a contact ist because it integrates with Outlook) that resides in Sharepoint. In my InfoPath form, I have several forms set up that allow me to update the contact information. One of the forms generates a dynamic webpage based on the data in the Sharepoint list. I have, however, reached the 8,000 byte limit for this list. Therefore, I have to chop up my list so that I can proceed with this project.

    My questions is, When I am in my InfoPath form, how do I source multiple list in Sharepoint so that I can grab all the data (from both lists) that the webpage sources in order to generate the page for a specific item - similar to a relational database?

    I would appreciate any help on this matter - thank you.

    Infopath does NOT generate webpages or even has influence how they are generated. 
    Infopath Designer is visual XML-edotor (and this confuses since XML data for a form is rendered as form) generating XML-based forms, i.e. XML data that can be used by external tools and services as client (non-browser-enabled) form or browser-based (for ex., by Sharepoint Infopath Form Service, of enterprise Microsoft Sharepoint Server 2010) 

    In infopah 201 Designer you can add multiple lists as source by pressing on ribbon  Data tab --> "Data Connections"  which pops-up Data Connection dialog.
    In "Data Connections" dialog box you then can "Data Connection" wizard by pressing "Add...", "Modify...", "Remove..." button  to add/modify/remove/etc lists as sources for a Infopath form, i.e. to XML data for rendering a form, aslo by other (external) tools and services.

    Rr more specificaly enter into "Data Connection" wizard for lists by pressing "From Sharepoint List" button
