Dynamic Data Connection URL

mark.ciubal — Thu, 01 Sep 2011 17:38:07 GMT

Is there any way I can tell InfoPath to retrieve data from an XML file that has a dynamic URL based on user provided information?

For example:

I want the * to be substitude for information that a user provides, such as their name.

After they provide their name, I want to display the <address> field from the coolxmlfilefor*.xml file.

So, when johndoe puts his name in an InfoPath field, I want my data connection url to retrieve data from:

And display the his address.

Sorry if this is tough to understand, I'm relatively new to InfoPath. Not entirely sure if what I want is possible.

Thanks for your help regardless!
