    Binding Dropdown Lists PROBLEM Infopath 2010

     I am having a big problem with my binding in infopath 2010.  I am a student who is on placement and has been given a project to create a software request form for a large organisation.

     

    To get to the point the end user has to select a campus they are based on and then the room within that campus.  When they select the campus the capus automatically appears in the room number dropdown then, like so:

     

     

     

    The room number drop down still only displays the rooms in that campus which I want it to do but when I select a room number it rewrites the campus drop down to that room number, like so:

     

     

     

    I have found some threads on this forum saying that its to do with repeating feilds but no one actually says how to correct the problem and because I am very new to infopath I dont understand the termonology.

     

    If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it because I have to demonstrate this in a weeks time to my managers for approval and would prefer it working correctly as this is the only problem I am currently having.

     

    Thanks Very Much.

    It doesn't look like your images came through correctly.  Could you try uploading them again?  Could you go into some details about how the filtering is implemented/how rules are set up on the dropdown fields?

     Sorry check the first post now and that should be it.

     

    Yes the campus drop down has no rulings or filters and the room number drop down is as follows:

     Filter:

     

     Binding:

     

     

     This is how I am able to select a campus and only display the rooms within that campus.  For example each room number in my access databse has the campus beside it in another column.  So if I select PORTADOWN it will display all room numbers will PORTADOWN beside them in the databse

    Have you found the problem or is the problem the way in which I have bound the objects?

    You have two drop downs. One is bound to the location_campus field. What field is the room number drop down bound to?
