Duplicating Drop-down Data - InfoPath

The requirement I have is for a user to fill out a form. That form has multiple drop-downs. They would like the people who review it to see this information duplicated on a different page. I am having issues remembering how to show the selections from a drop-down on that different page.  Thank you for any advice. I'm sure it is something simple.

  • The representation on the page depends on the control you use for the field. E.g. you have a field of type text/string. If you place it on page 1 you can chose a dropdown as a control representing the field. Changing the selection in the dropdown changes the field content. On page 2 you simply drag the field from the fields window and drop it. I am getting a simple text control, displaing the value of the field from the edited xml. If you set the text control to read only on page 2, the user would see the value entered from the dropdown from page 1 as uneditable text. I hope this helps.

      That is the thing I didn't try... so simple. Haha.  I was doing all sorts of other things. I tested that out and it worked just fine.  

       

      Thank you so much. I love simple solutions.
