Hi everybody!

I have the following problem using InfoPath with SharePoint:
in my form I retrieve data from a list via a XML String using the XML data
as secondary data source (owssvr.dll?cmd=Display&List={...}&XMLDATA=true).
The list includes several columns I want to fill in two combo boxes and want
to filter the items in combo2 in dependency of the choice in combo1.
(Example: in combo1 you choose "Audi", in combo2 only cars produced by Audi
are shown (A3, A4, etc.).
Creating this is possible but when changing the form properties to make it
compatible to a browser form, I get the alert that filtering is not supported
in browsable form templates.
Does anybody know a workaround for this or any solution to solve this?

I appreciate any hint or advice!
Thanks, Maddin

Hi,

The Office Server supports most of the features of the InfoPath rich client.
However, some features are not supported, including the use of scripting
languages, roles, custom task panes, filters, and some controls.

You can perform filtering by making use of webservices.
Check out this link for more information:
