how can I populate dynamically a dropdown list

[KUNO]

I'd like to see a infopath code which populate dyamically a dropdown list
from a secondary data source based on what a I choose in another dropdown
list.
Let's say I have a dropdown with two options company note and industry note
and depend on what I choose the second dropdown should be populated with
companies or industries, respectively.
Thanks a lot for any help

Easiest mechanism if you just have two options is to have two dropdowns
bound to the same value inside two sections, then hide/show the relevant
section based on the company/industry selection.
If there's lots of options, bind it the second dropdown a web service or XML
file and then Query the data connection with a rule or code when the first
dropdown changes.
