Hi,

i am using a webservice to populate some dropdown boxes in an Infopath form
when it opens. Now, when you close the form you have the option of saving
the data you've worked with, but the dropdown list is lost. So when you're
offline you don't have the list anymore.
Is there an easy way to store the dropdown data as well or can it only be
done with a script behind it? (if so, any examples?)

Joris.

Hi Joris,

If your secondary data does not change very often, you could put that data
into XML files and then use those files as "Resource" files, which are
incorporated into the XSN. However, if this is not the case there is a
sample in the InfoPath SDK (Data Interop) that demonstrates how to do
"offline" functionality.

In case you need this, here is the link to the InfoPath SDK:

I hope this helps!
