MS Office Forum / General MS InfoPath Questions / November 2005Populating a field from a database query
I want users to be able to enter a currency into an Infopath form from a drop down list, I then want a database to be queried to look up the exchange rate for that currency and a field on the Infopath form to be populated with the exchange rate to later be saved in the XML document. It sounds straight forward, however I cannot work out how to do it. Can anyone help?

It isn't however, very elegant, the user has to scroll down and select the exchange rate from the list. Would it be better to populate a control programatically, and if so, how do I do it (using C#).
