Please bare with me as I just discovered the great program and am anxious to
incorporate it into my company's work flow. I'm having a bit of a problem
displaying information from the populated dropdown list to a text box
correctly. Here is what I have in my sample .xml document:

<xml xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CCID CCdesc="Location1">0001</CCID>
<CCID CCdesc="Location2">0002</CCID>
</xml>

I can get "Location1" to appear on the drop down list, and the CCID "0001"
appears in the text box, but when i change the location to "Location2" the
text box value does not change to "0002" as I would like it to but remains as
"0001". Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to set up a rule on the dropdrown list box that sets the value of
the text box to the value of CCID listed in the sample .xml, and add a filter
(using the Filter Data button) that compares CCDesc from the sample .xml with
the selected value of the dropdown in the Main data source.
