I'm wondering if it is possible for an InfoPath form to select a specific row
or cell from a SQL database.  It seems that I can populate a drop-down list
with a column from a database, but not a row.

Basically, I have a database with Employee stats for a call center. These
stats are things like number of calls per hour and average length of a call.  
I'm creating a Monthly Coaching form in InfoPath, and I want it to
automatically pull an employee's stats when their name is selected from the
list.

So I need a way to code it so that the form says, "Okay, so John Smith's
login is 1234, so I need to pull the row from the database that starts with a
cell containing 1234, and populate a field with the information in the third
cell for that row, which is his average call time for the month of May."

Is that possible with InfoPath, or am I asking too much?

Thanks,
