How do I make an unbound dropdown list?

[chrismahoney]

Hi

I'm moving an old Outlook form across to InfoPath, and it has a
dropdown list where you select a type of map, and the required text
boxes (coordinates, etc) appear. I can manage the hiding and unhiding
of text boxes in InfoPath, but can't figure out how to replicate the
dropdown. Every time I try to use one, InfoPath wants me to bind it to
a data source. I don't want to bind it, all I want to do is "if
dropdown = Lat/Long then display Latitude and Longitude boxes". How can
I do this?

Thanks
Chris

Add a field to the Main data source using the "Data Source" pane. Add it
directly under the main node (myFields). Then you can drag the field from the
"Data Source" pane and drop it onto the form. It will be a text field by
default. You can then right-click on it and change it to a drop-down list box.
