Prefilling a text box based on drop down selection

[Pragyan]

Hi,

I am working on Microsoft Infopath 2007. I am facing an issue, someone
please help me.

I have two views for example view A & view B. View A maintains a list of
employee records ( employee name, employee number, employee dept...etc).

Now the challenge is each record has to be displayed in View B in the
fillowing manner.
In view B one drop-down list box is there which contains all the employee
names from View A(This part is already done). The requirement is when I
select an employee name from the drop-down list, the coresponding employee
number & department should populate or prefill the text boxes next to the
drop-down list.

Please help me out how to do this, whether by rule or by data validation or
by conditional formatiing or by any other way.

Thanks in Advance.

Regards,
Pragyan

You need to perform a lookup in your employee list.
