Combine/Merge items selected from 2 multiselect list boxes to populate in drop-down box without code

Hi,

Firstly I find this forum very informative with a lot of timely suggested solutions. Am stuck with a strange situation and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is there a way I can combine/merge items from 2 multiselect list boxes to populate in a single drop-down so that the dorpdown shows all items selected from the 2 multiselect list boxes without any code and just by simple rules and configurations inside the infopath form 2010.

To give more details about my current situation here is some information.

I have 2 multiselect listboxes retrieving data from external data source (sharepoint list). Now when I select items from each of these multiselect listboxes the items should be populated inside a drop-down. I could achieve getting items only from one multiselect listbox to the drop-down using the simple "Get choices from fields in this form" which is straightforward but how to link the same dropdown to the second multiselect listbox and merge the items.

Is this possible to achieve without any code and using basic expressions.

Please help as am going crazy in finding a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Regards

Lakshmi
