    MS Contoso Reinbursment - Department drop down - How does it populate?

    The answer to this will resolve a need.

    Step by Step book - using infopath 2010 - the Contoso reinbursment form - user info part.

    I like the drop down control and how it populates based on a field elsewhere (in another group) in the form - yet this field is a text box and the former a drop-down. I like how you select and it fills the other field with the department code also - filtering?.

    However, no where can I find how to accomplish this.

    How do you create the field values and where do you save them - how do you start to create such a control.

    The deptcode field has a value "Code[Department = DepartmentName]" - the Department is in the group Departments which is a repeating table in the DepartmentGroup.

    Yet properties of the text box reveal no list?

    But know where can I find the create for dumbies step by step for these two fields and controls.

    Any guidance or point to where to find - really really appreciated.

    Thanking anyone and evryone who may be able to assist, in advance.

    Best Regards
    Bill

    Hi there,

    Sounds like you want to populate a dropdown control from some secondary data source?  If so, here is an article/video that may help you get started:  http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/demo-populate-a-drop-down-list-box-from-a-sharepoint-list-HA010254912.aspx
