I have created a lookup drop down list field using an .xml file. This works
well. My intention is to have this drop down list selection populate other
fields within the form. I have attempted to use the rules within the drop
down list to point toward the field I need populated. Each time blank. Help.

If you're not using browser forms, you can try this article:

ction-secondary-data-source.htm
The database would be the XML file in your case.

Works like a champ. I did need to ensure that the ID was listed in the .xml
file
