Hi Alain,
See attached for a sample xforms.
I will have to change select1 to read from an xml file ... what i want to
know is how does the dropdown get refreshed once the xml file has been
updated and making the newly created record visible in the dropdown.
I appreciate your assistance - only my day 2 on xforms thus far!
Take care
