Re: InfoPath 2003 CAML with dropdowns and Rich text boxes

Thanks,

I've had a look thru the content of the site and it doesn't answer my question.

Is it possible to use the CAML fragment (which you would submit to a sharepoint list) to display information such as choices in a dropdown?

If it indeed possible then why is mine not working :-S

InfoPath 2003 CAML with dropdowns and Rich text boxes

CheapRound — Wed, 01 Oct 2008 09:03:56 GMT

I've created a sharepoint site Issue list and Info path form using the advice from Matt Faus (posts relating to adding to a sharepoint list).

What I need advice on is how to use the CAML to provide Drop down boxes and larger text boxes.

I've initially started trying to create the drop downs by adding Choices into the CAML.

However the Choices appear in a list along the text box not in a dropdown control.

Please can someone give me a hand or point me in a new direction. Thanks
