Hello,

Its advisable to use a Database to store the information of the Customers, if the customer list is large. If it is stored in the XML there would be perf issues later.

Insert a Rule on the Button to Switch Views when the button is clicked.

Using rules you can populate the fields below depending on the value selected in the dropdown.

How to link fields to a main field

Ok not sure how to exlpain this one but here goes.

The Vision:
I want an InfoPath form that will track all of our customers' various username and passwords for our technicians.

I have created a form that will capture all of that information but here is what I would like to be able to do with the information.

The Goal:
I would like a tech to be able to open the InfoPath form and add a new customer, edit and existing customer, or delete entire customers' password lists. I would like them to click on a button that takes them t a "view" that would give them a DropDownList of all the customers inserted thus far and I would like to select a customer adn have it populate the fields below with the various stored password informations.

What I don't understand:
I do not understand how I should structure the database. Can I do it in just XML? Do I have to use Access or MSSQL? I would rather not. How do I structure the data so that the password fields refernece the customer or vice versa?

Hope that explains it and thanks in advance.
