Linking Combo Boxes

[Thomas Pagel]

Hi,

maybe a newbie question...

Take the northwind DB... I want to select customers,
their orders and show their order details in a grid. So I
need 2 combo boxes which are linked, so that I see all
the customers in the first combo box, select one and see
the orders of the customer in the second, select one and
see the the order details in the grid.

How do I link the combox boxes to get what I want?

Thanks,



Thomas

Hi Thomas,

This blog post might be of some help, it talks about on how to create
dependent drop-downs/list-box in InfoPath using Filters:

Alternatively, you could do something similar with the Master/Detail control
available with SP1.

Hope this helps,
