And,

Being able to select the product once but select several sub products.

So potential could end up with something like:

Colours Red, Blue

Shape Triangle

Thanks

Thank you for your reply Patrick.

Any way that we could do it in a checkbox format instead?

Only reason is that there maybe multi products selected as well as sub products so when completing this form it could potentially end up being extremely large. I was thinking checkboxes might be about to condense it........

Cheers

Hi LindaKer,

Glad to hear that you are on your way to eternal happiness with InfoPath.

I would recommend that you have two dropdowns in a repeating section - the first dropdown for products and the second for sub products. The second filters on the first - just go into properties and specify filter and make sure the product equals what's selected in the first.

I've attached a 2010 sample.

Which rules to use??

Hi again,

Thanks again for all feedback from other posts - it has helped dramatically.

I have other scenario that needs your asistance, I have no idea what function this would be called in order to create the rule...so here is goes :)

I have a list of Products which a unique list of Sub Products in each. I want the ability that when a product is selected (using a drop down box) then the sub products will then show. I also want the ability for a user to pick multiple products. I have lots of Products and Sub Products - approx 40 each so i want to keep the user from as condensed as possible. Both Products and Sub Products will be driven using a button option or check box.

What are your recommendations and how do I set up the rules?

If you are able to mock a demo so I can follow that would be great :)

Products Sub Products

Colours Red, Blue, Pink etc

Shape Square, Round, Triangle

Hope this helps :)
