To dynamically populate form object properties using the drag and drop method

You can quickly set up dynamic data binding for form object properties using the drag and drop method.

Note:

You cannot use the drag and drop method for list items in a drop-down list or list box.

Before you perform this task, you must ensure the following settings are in effect:

•	Ensure active labels are on. See To set up dynamic properties.

•	Ensure you are connected to a data source that describes the data to which form object properties will be bound. See About connecting to a data source.

•	To test the form with sample data, ensure you are pointing to a data file that has data defined for the form object property. See To preview a form using sample data.

1.	Locate the active label for which you want to set up the dynamic data binding.

2.	In the Data View palette, select the node that you want to link.

3.	Click and drag the node to the active label.

A small link icon appears with the active label for any dynamic property that is bound. For example:

If the property already had a data binding set for it for the same data connection, it will be replaced.
