InfoPath Dev

I'm attempting to build a tool that will utilize InfoPath 2010 to query a SharePoint 2010 List. The data is a State Information tool. The information per state is different per site (2 sites with an all view), and are seperated via two categories "Auto" and "Property". To make this asthetically pleasing, I'm using InfoPath 2010 to display only, not to submit the data to the List.

There are 3 Picture Button tabs at the top (All Sites, Personal Market, Commercial Market), an Auto and Property Picture Button, and a list of states utilizing Picture Buttons (for looks).

I need to be able to change the query string around based on what the user chooses to filter it by. How can this be accomplished via picture buttons/buttons instead of a drop down menu? I'm a SharePoint and InfoPath newbie.

Basically, what I'm trying to figure out... Can InfoPath be used to Query and display data without a user submitting anything. Basically, a standalone tool that is tied to a SharePoint List.

Yes! We've done webinars all year showing how to use InfoPath as a dashboard: http://www.qdabra.com/en/training/trainingvideo.aspx
