MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2007Need to Cascade Multiple Drop-down Lists
Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me. I am not a programmer and am just learning to use Infopath 2007. In my form, which is web-enabled (which limits my options), I have 2 drop-down lists. List1 is a list of schools. List2 is the same list of schools. Both get their data from the same SharePoint 2007 list. What I want to do is have the user select one school from List1 and another school from List2 and then have those 2 schools appear as the only choices in another drop-down list. I can cascade the selection from List1 into the new drop-down but is it possible to cascade the selection from both List1 and List2 into the new drop-down list? Thank you for any help you can offer. Russ I would check on http://www.infopathdev.com If you search on cascading there are many blogs and posts. I think you should be able to do what you want.

I have looked through the info on infopathdev.com and yes, there are many blogs and posts related to cascading. Unfortunately, there are no blogs or posts that explain how to accomplish what I need. At this point, it appears to be a limitation of Infopath but I thought I would ask the question just to be sure someone else has not found a way to do it.

I wrote an article to programmatically fill a drop-down list box - this is one of many ways to do this - but I will admit that the solution is pretty advanced for a beginner.
