Join Gini von Courter for an in-depth discussion in this video Creating a data connection to a SharePoint list, part of InfoPath 2010 Essential Training.
In this simple form, we're going to include two external data sources:…one from SharePoint and one from an XML file.…We're going to create a dropdown here to contain some information that we're…going to go grab from SharePoint.…So I'm going to start back here by grabbing a control, and I'd like a dropdown list.…The dropdown list is going to get information from a SharePoint site list.…So let's go to our SharePoint site, and there is a list, as opposed to a library.…
Libraries hold documents; lists hold things that look like Excel lists broadly.…And as a matter of fact, you can choose to see the item in a datasheet view,…which will look exactly like Excel.…So here's my list, and I want to bring back these partner names into my form.…Now I see a partner Last Name and a partner First Name, but I'd like to…bring their whole names.…So the first thing that I should do is a little bit of research here to find out…if the data that I want exactly is here.…
I'm going to go to List and take a look in the view that's only here is the All contacts view.…
