How to add items in DropDownlist based on condition in InfoPath?

Question

I have One form, in which there is 1 Dropdown list that contains List of Months From January to December of current year 2013.

Now if I select any particular Month then, all the Dates(Only for Sundays) should be added in another DropDown List. (Event should be done on Change of month, if another month I select, sundays/dates should be added respective to the month).

Answer 1

Here is one way to do it. I have used this method in several forms and it sure has served me well.

1. Create an xml file like the one shown below: (Please follow the same format to complete the rest of the months and their dates as well) Please add an opening angular bracket (<) at the beginning of every line and replace the * with them as well. I couldnt include it due to to formatting issues.

   MonthToDate Month="January">1/6/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="January">1/13/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="January">1/20/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="January">1/27/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="February">2/3/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="February">10/3/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="February">17/3/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="February">24/3/2013 */MonthToDate>

   MonthToDate Month="March">.... */MonthToDate> ......

   MonthToDate Month="April">..... */MonthToDate> ......
