Manually Populate A Dropdown List Box

[JDArsenault]

I have a set of cascading lists in a 2003 Infopath form, using sql views as
data sources.
When choosing an office location city, the next dropdown gives you a floor
number for the office in that city. The next drop down gives you an office
number for that floor.
On the Office Number dropdown, I need to manually populate the field if
there is no office number to use.

I'm not seeing how I can do this. Any ideas? Please help & thank you.

Two options.

Look at using a combo box instead.

Have a hidden text field bound to the office field which the user can toggle
between and then enter one directly.

Unfortunately, InfoPath 2003 does not include the combo box control--that
was introduced in InfoPath 2007. Having a separate text field that the user
can type into is the way to go.

Thanks Greg.

I did not pay attention that he stated 2003.

One question regarding drop-boxes, is there a way to reuse coding
(html) so I do not have to rebuild my 'states' drop down box?

I have a form I am building that has years (only) and the states. If
I rebuild these, was there not an area to 'save them' for reuse later
(in InfoPath 2007). I thought I saw this somewhere.
