    Cascading drop downs and master-detail in a browser enabled form

    I found this great article on implementing Master Detail cascading drop downs through a browser enabled form.

     

    http://www.sharepoint-tips.com/2007/01/infopath-form-services-implementing.html

      However, now I am looking to expand upon this an make my drop downs on my form appear by Consultant Name.  Here is a little more information on my form.  

     

     I developed a InfoPath form for capturing Time Card Information.  The user can select a Client, Project, and Task for each day of the week.  I am trying to figure out how to now make the Clients, Projects, and Tasks appear by Consultant Name in my form depending on which Client/Projects/Tasks the Consultant is assigned to in the SharePoint list.  In my SharePoint list, I have Clients, Consultants, Projects, and Tasks.  In the url above, my Clients are equal to States and Projects are equal to Cities.  On my InfoPath form, I have a field called Consultant Name, which is filled out using the Username() function in InfoPath. Now I want the drop downs to appear if the Consultants Name who is filling out the form is assigned in my Sharepoint list to the Client/Project, Task. 

     

    Please let me know if you have some ideas on how to do this.

     

    Thanks, Stephanie

    Where is your source data coming from?  The list of projects?

    Yes, I following the url example exactly.  I have a Sharepoint list of projects that I am connectly to via xml, just like in the example. 

    I really hope you have some ideas on how to fix this, I have been working on this for a while now! 

     

    Thanks!  Stephanie
