What did you mean with this? I want to check if the data of one field in the infopath
form is equal with data in a special field in the access database. If yes, I want to fill
another field in the infopath form with data of a field of the database. In both cases
it is text which has to be compared.

Is this what you want to know? I hope I have explained it in a clear way now.
