Populating a FormView from different data

Hi,

I have a form which creates a request for access to one or more departments.
The formview uses datasource1 to pull all of the files and create an insert
form for this. However, I need for the formview to populate the "department"
field with a list of available departments from datasource2 (different
database server).

Is it possible to populate the values in an insert formview from datasource2
and then insert those values into datasource1?

When you say:

> field with a list of available departments from datasource2 (different
> database server).


Do you mean populate for example a DropDownList?

It is quite normal to populate a list control from one datasource and
link the output to another. So the answer is yes.
