Simple Sharepoint List Example Please

[Bilious]

I know this has been posted numerous times before so sorry.
But can someone please talk me through populating a drop down list
with data from Sharepoint.

I have setup a secondary data source pointing to my server that works
with getList. I cannot set one up for GetListItems because it says
that I am not providing correct parameters.

I know the name of the column i want, the view, and the list, what
else does it need - I have no idea what sort of a query to enter or
why it should need it.

Hi, I
don't have an answer to your question, but what I do today is write Web
Service methods that return the info I want the way I want it. I've also
been looking at http://weblogs.asp.net/asanto/archive/2004/12/30/344585.aspx
by Addy Santo that seems promising.

HTH,
Ed Richard

Look for the thread "Consuming Sharepoint Web Services in InfoPath form".
You'll have to do this in one of a few ways, none of which are using the
built in Web Service data adapter.
1) Use the built in SharePoint list data connection. This is easy but has
limited configurability
2) Do it all in code. I use XMLHTTP and call SOAP myself, but if you're
using .NET you can use the web service proxy, etc.
3) Write a server-side wrapper (e.g. see the post I'm replying too.)
