Binding secondary datasource w/multiselect (SP1)

I have sharepoint lists of Products and sub-systems, in IP the sub-sytem dropdown was/is filtered by product. Nice. Now I've been asked to make it into a multi-select. I've tried the method recommended in the infopathblog (http://blogs.msdn.com/infopath/archive/2004/04/01/106039.aspx) but I can't use my sub-system data-source. I tried Patrick's 'moving items between list boxes' example, but I can't connect it to my data source either.

Does anyone have an example of a sharepoint list based datasource in any type of "multi select" functionality.

Thanks
Rob

Figured this out by doing the following:
1. added a repeating table
2. clicked on the text box and changed it to dropdown list box
3. data connections and filters as usual

works nicely, the user has to click on the label to add another sub-system, but it works.
