Hi folks,
I was wondering is anyone had any tips on how to display only unique values
when pulling information from a secondary data source.

example: i have an sts list set up as a secondary data source and i put a
drop down list into my form to display the team names from the list.  as the
team names repeat, i only want each one to appear once.

I get around this by basically creating seperate list with with particular
fields that don't repeat actings as keys however there are times when i
don't want to create several lists.

Any suggestions?

Check out the InfoPathDev.com Example titled, "Repeating Cascading Lists of Cascading Lists". It performs this task using filters on the nodes it uses to populate the drop-down lists.
