Re: Filling fields from Data Connections

Ok, with a fresh outlook on it today I have solved my dilemma. I am still new to Infopath and I'm not fully aware of all its features and functions. I wonder if there is a way for me to send data back to a specific field on a sharepoint table?

Thats what I would think I need to do, I guess I should have phrased my question differently. I am not quite sure of the equation or formula to put in the field when making the rule.

Hi there.

Just add a rule with one or more actions to set the field values that you want to copy over.

Easy stuff!

Filling fields from Data Connections

Hello,

I am still very new to designing my own Info path templates and need help with a design I would like to have. I have linked a table that contains names, phone numbers, addresses, etc as a data connection and I have created a drop down box that lists the names that are found in this table. So far so good, but I see there is a rule that can be applied to a form right after a control has been changed. What I would like to have is when the user selects a name from the drop down box the other fields will fill in with data that are found for that specific name. Such as if Joe is selected, Joe's phone number will be filled in the text box and so will his address. Any help would be much appreciated.

THANK YOU
