I had a similar thoughts about this and I feel that it works. It does allow everything to be on one page and provides the "feeling" that the user is switching views when they make a selection.

Hi everybody,

Instead of switching views, you'll have to put the contents of the views in sections, and use conditional formatting to hide each section when the drop-down listbox is not set to the corresponding value.

Hope this helps!

Thanks! I've asked for help from a developer, and he's agreed to help me. I'll be sure to ask if we need help.

Thanks again!

Hi Carolyn2,

well we cannot change view on drop-down list using rules, we can only change it using code. if you have any question go ahead and ask.

Switching views using a drop-down list box

I want to switch between views depending on the value entered in a drop-down list box. My boss does not want me to use buttons, but unfortunately that is the only way I've found to dynamically switch views using InfoPath’s built-in functionality.

I looked on the web and I found two articles about how to use custom code to switch views using the values in a drop-down list box.

Is this the only way to do it? These articles are a bit over my head, so I'm hoping for some advice. I am using InfoPath 2007.

Thanks!
