Hi Karthik,

Not sure it's going to help you, but have you looked at David's blog here: http://www.infopathdev.com/blogs/david/archive/2007/08/23/implementing-cascading-dropdowns-in-forms-server.aspx ?

Filtering a dropdown listbox in a 2007 browser-enabled infopath form

Karthik V Mainampati — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 00:34:11 GMT

I have a 2007 browser-enabled InfoPath form which has a dropdown listbox which looks up the form's datasource. See the attached form template. The dropdown listbox looks up the module name repeating node in the form's datasource. I would like to populate the dropdown with module name when "Survey Needed" is equal to "TRUE". I know that we can do this very easily using "Filters" in InfoPath rich client. I was looking to do this in the browser-enabled form. Is there any way to do this without using code? I would greatly appreciate if you could share the code or point me in the right direction.

Just to give you a background, I am using the dropdown for navigation on different views, instead of buttons. I am not using the buttons because I have 14 different views. The user's selection of checkboxes on the first view would determine which views should be visible for them to navigate.

Controls
