    populate a CSV / List to make a selection

    Hi,

     

    I have a CSV List that includes all the locations I need in my form.

    Is there a way I can generate a feature or whatever we can so I can let that CSV appear and to make a selection of the location I want

    Please assist - Thanks

     

    TF.

    Hi TruFly, how are you? I suggest saving your CSV file into an Excel file because InfoPath can connect to an excel spreadsheet and treat it like a database. Spreadsheets are just flat databases. In designer click on the 'Data' tab and click on 'Other Sources' then 'Select database' then browse for your excel sheet. I hope this helps :) by the way how is your form going so far?

    Hello TruFly, my mistake, I should have mentioned that you need to select 'Excel Files' from the file type. cheers!

    Hi Jun,

     

    I am still getting the same message. But it is okay, don't worry about it, I am thinking of doing another field that can populate data from XML or CSV or XLS whatever is possible.

    Thanks for the time again
