Filtering data and not associated dropdown list field

[Gabriele Fabbri]

Hi, I find this useful article about filtering data in infopath, but I
can't understand the example.
Here is the article:

The problem is that I don't know how create the dropdown list field
without associations... well I think it could be without association
because I don't want save its data... right?
And also: how can I make the condition "is equal to" assigned to that field?

Thank you,
Gabriele Fabbri.

filtering is only available on the main data source not a secondary data
source unless you do it manually behind the scenes. Select the list box
properties and then select how it will get its data - manual or from a
table/query

-Hope that helps
