populate_row_based_on_selection_from_ dropdown_box

[Andrey]

Dear developers,
the "populate_row_based_on_selection_from_ dropdown_box" function seems to be missing in IP SP1. This feature would be very useful and will complete the puzzle you've made.

I've tried to populate the repeating table row based on .mdb table record and quit.
In my form I have to make a decision based on information from DB prior filling the rest of the form.

May be I can do this without writing code? I have no time to study the scripting manuals for such a trivial thing.

Thank you for such a wonderful thing!

Thank you for the replay.
my challenge seems to me pretty simple, but I can't figure out the way around:
I have access DB, where the items info is stored (name, price, specs, etc.) and I want dropdown box to bind with this info to show the additional info on item. It would be very useful, if you show how to do this. (Few people have asked the same question on this newsgroup with no answer - I guess they will be happy to hear how one can manage this)

You can check out an example of a project that uses a drop-down list
(populated by a lookup data source) to add multiple entries to repeating
table cells. The project is based on the Northwind Orders/Order Details
tables; it displays the ProductName and sets the UnitPrice when you select a
ProductID (displaying QuantityPerUnit is a simple addition).

The example is at http://www.oakleaf.ws/infopath/nworders.aspx. It works
with a public Web service, but the principles are the same for a database as
the data source. You can download the source code from a link on the page.

It may be possible to use rules to populate the row depending on where the drop-down list box is and the structure of your DOM.
