Hi,

I'm a newbie to infopath so forgive me if I sin!

I want to populate a dropdown list with the description of a current set of
issues.

On selection from that list I want to display a detailed form of information
relating to that issue.

A classic search scenario, Can someone point me in the right direction on
how to approach this

No problem Laurence, asking around is not a sin...

Have you taken a look at our Master-Detail Control? This control might cover
your scenario of selecting from a list and displaying detailed information
on a particular issue.

This link provides a more detailed explanation on how to use it:

The Master/Detail control is part of InfoPath SP1. To check if you have SP1
installed, go to Help | Check for Updates.

Jose,

Is it possibel to do this with managed code? The examples are all great but
with scripting... also have the Data Objects completely changed
(DataObject--> DataAdapter)? The SDK is very script oriented.

cheers,
Kevin
