how to populate drop down data on emailed form..

[don]

newbie to infopath..

how do you populate drop-down on an infopath form for email, when
user/recipient is not connected to database?

ex..drop-down field may store state code, but display state, etc.

can the data/query for that drop-down be included in the form, so offline
(to database) user can select the state on form, yet state code will be bound
in form when received back into outlook, and processed into database?

thanks!
Don

Hi,
Once try this.
1. Get the xml of your form.
2. In on load event query that xml. So that xml will save.
3. Then work in offline.
Hopes this helps.
