"choice is not equal to 1st choice"&lt;br /&gt;and "choice is not equal to 2nd choice"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;That did it for me.</description></item><item><title>Help - filtering a repeating drop down list</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1745.aspx</link><pubDate>Tue, 19 Dec 2006 14:07:50 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:1745</guid><dc:creator>schung</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/1745.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=1745</wfw:commentRss><description>Help - filtering a repeating drop down list on previous &amp; future selection (using secondary data source)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I saw Matt Faus' how to:  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&lt;a target="_blank" href=http://www.infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=1fe635d7e2cd4c478b7a1eea929153ea&gt;http://www.infopathdev.com/howto/tutorials/default.aspx?i=1fe635d7e2cd4c478b7a1eea929153ea&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I want to make slight variation from Matt's tuturial.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Instead of using 'repeating table' (next line), I would like to have it across horizontal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;One Line will have all the choice &lt;br /&gt;1st choice	2nd choice	3rd choice.)&lt;br /&gt;(select)        (select)          (select)&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;br /&gt;I have a secondary data source which will have A, B, C &amp; D (as data)&lt;br /&gt;I was able on the 1st choice &amp; use the secondary data source to select the data.
