Should the fruit_ref field's value come from the SharePoint list's fruit_ref column? I think filtering should work just fine. So set a default value for your fruit_ref field, that is - the value of the SharePoint list data source's fruit reference filtered such that fruit = your main data source's fruit (combo box) field.

It may look something like:

ShP_Fruit_Ref[ShP_Fruit = Form_Fruit]

or using XPath:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Fruits")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:ShP_Fruit_Ref[../d:ShP_Fruit = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:Form_Fruit]

Does that make sense?

Hi there, Any assistance on how to achieve the following would be much appreciated. I have a sharepoint "fruit" list containing two columns: fruit and fruit_ref. . On my infopath 2010 form I have two fields - fruit field(combobox) and fruit_ref field. The fruit field combo box uses a data connection to lookup the sharepoint fruit list. This works and I can select a fruit. What I'm trying to achieve is when a user selects a fruit from the fruit combobox the corresponding fruit reference is filled into the fruit_ref field. e.g user selects banana, the fruit_ref field populates with ba. Any ideas on how to achieve this? Thank you. edit: just noticed the formatting is completely gone in this post
