InfoPath and Web Services

[geoffreycarter]

Is it possible to link a single field in an InfoPath form to multiple web
services? I have a form that submits a PO to WS3. Prior to this I want to
gather data for the form from WS1 and WS2. The key field is the PO Number.
I would like to be able to query WS1, then WS2 and then submit the data to
WS3 without the need for multiple fields / buttons. Any thoughts would be
appreciated.

Hello Geoffrey,

As Bob suggested, this issue is related to InfoPath which should be handled
in the specific newsgroup for Infopath: microsoft.public.infopath. Please
submit this question to that newsgroup where is best suited to help you
with InfoPath related issues.

Having said that, I would like to provide some general information for your
reference:

Based on my knowledge, one field could only be bound to one data source in
the built-in UI in InfoPath. So we are uanble to retrieve data from
multiple data sources in one field. However, this goal might be achieved
by programming. If you need further assistance on this issue, please
submit the query to the dedicated newsgroup for InfoPath. There are many
guru in this field and all the community will benefit from your experience.

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Ada Pan
