Hello,
Thanks for your reply.

I tried the above, but it just appeared to keep returning the top value in the table. So for instance if I had it set out like this:

NAME - Q1
bob - What's the weather like?
harry - Do you like chocolate?

It will just return: What's the weather like? Even if I have asked for it to give me Harry's question.

In Condition select your drop down field in 1st DD and is equalto in 2nd DD and give student name in 3rd DD
Then Click OK and select Add action in the Rule Window

I hope these steps will help you

Students and Questions

Sir Boffalot — Wed, 28 Jun 2006 20:23:57 GMT

Hello,
I have a form in InfoPath which is designed to record the behaviour of students contained with in a base at a school. Each student has 10 questions to their name, each of which is different. In my form, there is a dropdown list containing each of the students names read from the StudentName field in the Student table of the db. When an item is selected from the list, text boxes below must fill with the questions. I believe that it will require some code, but am not familiar with the language used in InfoPath (I believe this to be XML???).

Anyway, this is beginning to do my head in now so any help would be much appreciated!
