    Auto-Fill a Text box by selecting a choice from a dropdown List box.

    Problem:

    Unable to configure my InfoPath form to display the "Required Documents" when the "Action Requested" drop-down list (Action) is selected?

     FACTs: 

    I am using InfoPath 2010 with SharePoint 2007.

    I have a list in SharePoint named  "Action Requested: with the following columns. ID, TITLE, REQUIRED DOCUMENTS

    I have created the following DATA connections: 

    1.  Action Requested - This data connection is for the Drop-down list. When in PREVEW the user would select the Action they are requesting. For example they might want to submit a FORM 30.

    2. Required Documents - This data connection I created but I am not sure its needed. When the user selects the Action requested. I want to display the required documents that must accompany their request.

    (I am looking for a detailed step by step instruction for out of the box InfoPath 2010.)

    Hi Greg,

    I understand that you would like to display data for the Required Documents (library or list). Yes, you will need the data connection to the Required Documents. What you will need next is to add logic that filters your query when you are retrieving data. Here is a webinar which discusses filtering SharePoint queries: InfoPath 101: Secondary Data Connections and Filters.

    Hope this helps.

    Don,

    Thank you for taking the time to reply.

    I work in a network environment where videos are restricted. it's one of my biggest frustrations. That is why I asked for detailed instruction. Plus, I hope detailed instructions will help others. To many post often assume knowledge and although helpful they can be difficult to understand.

     Anyhow, thanks again for the link, I will watch it on my cell.  

    Greg
