Populate dropdown list via XML

[Jesse Padilla]

Please bare with me as I just discovered the great program and am anxious to
incorporate it into my company's work flow. I'm having a bit of a problem
displaying information from the populated dropdown list to a text box
correctly. Here is what I have in my sample .xml document:

<xml xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<CCID CCdesc="Location1">0001</CCID>
<CCID CCdesc="Location2">0002</CCID>
</xml>

I can get "Location1" to appear on the drop down list, and the CCID "0001"
appears in the text box, but when i change the location to "Location2" the
text box value does not change to "0002" as I would like it to but remains as
"0001". Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You need to set up a rule on the dropdrown list box that sets the value of
the text box to the value of CCID listed in the sample .xml, and add a filter
(using the Filter Data button) that compares CCDesc from the sample .xml with
the selected value of the dropdown in the Main data source.

That was it. Never thought of the filter. Thanks a million!!
