Populating with a display name

S

Shalini

I am using Microsoft Infopath to try and create a front end for an SQL
database. I have a data source which stores an id number for the employee.
This id number relates to a secondary data source called tblUsers. the id
field then relates to the users forename, surname, email address etc. When
the employee id is selcted in a drop down list box, the email address is
shown in the box using the secondary data source.

What I need to do is use the display name of the drop down box, not the
value, to populate another expression box. I also need the display name, not
the value to store in the SQL (as well as a Sharepoint) database. Can anybody
help me out with this?
