The filtering is being performed on a data source level, so you should be able to do it even with multi-value lookup.

I am able to do this with single value lookup columns. But Is it possible to do this with multivalue lookup columns?

I tried all the steps in your tutorial but whenever I open any list in InfoPath and then reupload (publish) it to SharePoint 2010, I get some JS error and clicking on Add New Item shows the pop up but with the ribbon which again is completely grayed out. Also there are no text boxes to choose from or anything. Do you know what the possible issue might be with this?

If you create your list in SharePoint as a Form Library (only available for SP2007 with MOSS) you can do this with SP2007 as well.

Just create the Form Library in SharePoint (your “Project Tasks”), then go to InfoPath and design a form. When publishing, choose to publish to an existing Form Library, and tie the fields from your Form to the existing columns in the Library.

The binding of data from the “Projects” list to a control in InfoPath will be exactly as you’ve shown, although this prohibits the form from being opened in-browser (it will open in InfoPath, requiring all of your users to have InfoPath installed).

@Mickoni: Nope, you need InfoPath 2010 to customize forms. These are transformed to web pages on SharePoint server so your users do not need InfoPath.

I’v been looking a long time for something like this to work without the use of any coding.
Will this also work with SP2010 and Infopath2007?
