The XPath you are missing is coming from the Filter. When you are selecting your field, there is a button at the bottom of the dialog box, named Filter. You select the field, click filter, and that's where the other XPath comes in.

Can't get Pop Fields after Select to work

I downloaded the example of populating fields after selection to see how that technique worked.

After a bit, I discovered that you set rules for the dropdown box:

Set a fields value

Field Name

SQLField[@ContactName=@Name]

OK, looks simple enough for even me to do!

But it doesn't work for me...

So I went back to you sample form, and deleted a rule and tried to recreate it.

The old rule: @CustomerID[@ContactName=@Name]

The new rule: @CustomerID[@ContactName=@Name]

Should be the same, but the old one works and the new one doesn't. I looked at the XPath, and it's different:

Old Rule:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Customers")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Customers/@CustomerID[../@ContactName = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:Customer/@my:Name]

New Rule:

xdXDocument:GetDOM("Customers")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Customers/@CustomerID[xdXDocument:GetDOM("Customers")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:Customers/@ContactName = @Name]

Do you have to write the write the XPath by hand? I used the insert field selector create the formula.

Any help would be appreciated!
