Hi Dave,
This is a common scenario. You can use rules and filtering for this. In the last couple months there have been numerous threads on this. Please try searching the forum (upper left search button) for "rule filter set field". For example, here's one thread that has some info:http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=788. Good luck.

Pre-populate other fields from a field value

davehook — Sat, 24 Sep 2005 13:16:59 GMT

Hi, I am not a developer and I'm new to infopath so please be patient with me is i use the wrong terminology. My question is this:

I have a text field which is automatically populated with the users domain login name as part of an on-load routine. I wish to use that username to pre-populate another section of the form (most likely with real name department phone number etc) from information stored in an access db or similar where the username will be part of that data. Any suggestions how i do this?

As i say im not a developer so clear instructions would really help.
Many Thanks for your time
