Persist data in dynamically populated dropdown listbox

bluering — Tue, 22 Jul 2008 22:39:31 GMT

Hello,

I have two dropdown listboxes on my InfoPath form. The values in listbox #2 are determined by the selection in listbox #1. Thanks to forums like this one, I found a way to make this work. I bound an XML file to listbox #2 as a secondary data source and programmatically populate listbox #2.

My question is how do I persist the data and the selection in listbox #2 after the form is saved and later reopened?

As Greg suggested, I tried dragging a field from the Main data source to to listbox #2 but it wouldn't take. The field I tried to drag over was of the same name as the listbox, was that wrong?

I'm new to SharePoint and InfoPath, any help you can offer would be appreciated.

Thanks.

P.S. the InfoPath form is browser-enabled.
