    Auto Populate

    I know there is a posting on this subject already, that is still active. But im trying to do something a little differant. This link http://infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=9111ef580f95479890fc18fb2c5bac85 is almost close. BUT I would like them to have a text box for the user to type in a case number and click on button to retrieve the information. A dropdown box would be nice, but with the amount of records, it just times out. Now after they type in the number and click query I would like it to populate 4 boxs, pretty much what the form does in the link I provided. I'm using IP2007 , but IP2003 is available.

    I'm assuming you are wanting to use rules and not code. Code is easy--you do the query, and if successful, get the data and populate the fields.

    Rules is very similar... One action is to query. Actions following the query then populate the required fields by pulling data from the freshly queried data source.

    On my ride into work i was thinking of running code to do what I need. I can just add the code to the click event on a button, correct?

    That is correct.

    Greg,
    Would you happen to have a useable link to do this? I know VB but not in IP.
