infopath \ sharepoint datasource

[kalisin]

I have an infopath form with a drop down that is populated from a
sharepoint list. The drop down is in a repeating table. Is there a
way I can filter the drop down list to not include already selected
items? The list is populated from sharepoint, I don't want to change
the structure of the sharepoint list because other users may be using
the same list. So I would like the info path to take care of
filtering. Help!!

Did you already take a look at this solution?

It uses an XML file as a data source, but you should be able to convert it
to use a Sharepoint list.

Thanks. I am using a Sharepoint list and not an XML document as my
datasource for the drop down list.

The concept is the same whether you use a Sharepoint list or an XML document.
