Hi Jullian,

This can be done with filters on the data source. Because this is a fairly common question, I've whipped up a tutorial and posted it on my site: http://www.elliottbeaty.com/wordpress/2010/08/microsoft-infopath-2010-xml-drill-down/

Good luck

Using formula to auto Populate text field

Good day, Let me start by saying that I am not a programmer in any way... I have created form with various fields, one of which is called ship, is a drop down box, which gets it's data from an XML data source (which contains ships names and their callsigns (separate fields). How on earth can I get a text box to autofill with the ships callsign when the ship is selected in the ship drop down box? Idiot proof help is gratefully requested
