Infopath cant display dropdowns & checkboxes when linked to a DB

J

Jay Whittaker

I have an Infopath form linked to a database. When I include checkbox, and
dropdown list elements, they are successful in updating the database but do
not reflect the data when the form is opened again. I had to overcome this by
using colors to represent options selected (autoformatting). The data is
there and recognised but the default option is always shown

Another limitation is not being able to do more advanced filters and rules.
For example I want to display all results in the past 14 days. I can only do
or < today(). I also want to do IF type statements. I can do this in code,
however I was forced to learn the language to do this.
