    Automatically display information in a textbox based on selections of 2 drop-down menus

    Hello, I am new to this forum and also fairly new to InfoPath forms. I am developing a IP form that feeds from a SP list where I want to have cascading list boxes that will then automatically populate a text box after the selection of my second box. I have the two list boxes working great (I can choose a selection in the first box that in turn allows me to select certain criteria in the second box). What I really need to be able to do is make a choice in the first box which will then give me filtered selections in the second box, and then when the second box is selected that then populates a text box with pre-defined text. My first box is called 'service' (this includes services my team provide), the second box then gives me a choice based on my first service (i.e. if I choose Training in the first box then my second box will show workstreams that only training provide). I then need the text box to auto populate with a sub-function (this is the business function of the workstream), and must be automatically entered as the staff member does not know this. I have all of these items currently in a SP list.

    I would really appreciate any help as I have been trawling the net for days looking for an answer. I did see a post on here  http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/t/22266.aspx?PageIndex=1 but it wasn't quite what I was looking for. (or I may have miss read the post)!!

    Hi,

    Do you mind attaching your XSN so I can see how you have things set up currently and recommend some techniques from there? (When you reply, go to the Options tab and then add your file attachment)

    Thanks!
