How to make selection change in drop down value based on another drop down selection.

Hi All,

I am new to Infopath. I got a new form with 2 drop down (ProgramArea & Projects) which populate data from xml.

XML will look like below:

<Programs>
<Program>
  <ProgramArea>ABC</ProgramArea>
  <Project>Project1</Project>
  <Project>Project2</Project>
</Program>

<Program>
  <ProgramArea>XYZ</ProgramArea>
  <Project>Project3</Project>
  <Project>Project4</Project>
</Program>
</Programs>

Whenver, user make selection in Program Area drop down, all respective projects should populate in Project drop down. I am successful doing it.

Problem: However, projects drop down will keep (remember) its last selected projects, eventhough i change Program area.

For example:
Whenever, I select "ABC" from program Area drop down, Project1 & Project2 is populated. Now, I select Project1 in Project drop down. Now, I changed selection in program area drop down, Project3 & Project4 gets populated in projects drop down. But, Project1 is still highlighted in projects drop down. After I change selection in Project drop down, Project1 get vanish.

See below snap shot.

What I need is to make select Empty item (1st item) in Project drop down whenever Program Area drop down selection change.
