I&amp;#39;ve got a form on InfoPath 2010 that uses a data connection for the choices in a drop down list.


Once I&amp;#39;ve submitted the form to a SharePoint form library and open the form, the choice for the drop down list goes back to the default value.


Is this an error? Any ideas for a workaround?


Thanks in advance


EDIT: Fixed it by deselecting to automatically retrieve data, adding a field as the output and setting a rule not to show it until the form is submitted</description></item></channel></rss>
