MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2007Secondary data connections
I have a form that was created by someone that does not connect to an acces db. I am trying to get an account ID lookup to return the account name to work. So I have a secondary data connection that contains this 2 field query...acct # and acct name. Is it possible to get this to work. I am pretty new with Infopath. This form contains several places where one could do lookups for various account lookups. How can this be done in an existing form? Thanks .... > I have a form that was created by someone that does not connect to an acces > db.

Hi Ed, Yes this can me achieved using secondary dataconnections. If you are dealing with browser based form, then you can write a web service method to achieve the desired task. Do let me know if you need more information. Regards, Paresh Hi Thanks for your response. This is NOT a browser based form. I tried creating a rule but nothing happened. If I have to write code, is there a sample piece that I can look at that shows how to do this. But again, this is not a browser based form. Can I still query fields.
