Thanks for the info. I set it up as described in the article. It works for what we are trying to do.

The only way I know to do this without code would be to put the form in a web part - then you can have a single parameter. More here.

How to select an option from drop down menu via URL

srudenko — Fri, 28 Jun 2013 00:29:08 GMT

I have an InfoPath 2010 form published to a form library on SharePoint 2010.

In the form, I have a drop down list which is populated by data from another SP list on open. Is it possible to automatically select a value from the drop down menu in the form when it opens by passing a value in the URL link to the form?

Example: The drop down menu pulls in the following options from another list:

John
Mary
Jack
Kyle

Is there any way to form the URL to a new form so it would be something like this http://sharepoint/site/etc...etc....?DropdownField=Mary

Then when the link opens the form 'Mary' should already be selected in the drop down?

Is this possible without any coding?
