My First Infopath Project

woh.. what a week! I have just completed my First project in my job. Unlike most others i am quite thankful that i had quite a challenging and interesting project to work with. I worked with Infopath as the front end and Share point portal as the back end. I have to deliver an online form which when submitted gets stored in a sharepoint site. Quite a simple task.
But as usual this project is not devoid of challenges though. For me, who learned infopath just days four days before the project i found it quite easy to learn. yet very powerful and flexible. Just like any office product, Infopath is easy to use and knowledge would evolve the more one uses it. forms which otherwise would have been made with c sharp .net code can now been made with a very simple and flexible environment. different views can be made just like that and a print view can be madevery easily. all validations and rules can be made easily without necessarily going to the code part. pictures and templates can be made very easily.
however i would have liked it, if the following feautures where there in infopath.
i) A feature which automatically fills up all the controls which can make the testing easier. otherwise the developer has to go through the painful job of filling up all the controls each time of testing. i know this feauture is there in desin mode. i would be better if it was there in preview mode.

ii) one of the client requirement was ofline filling of forms without connecting to sharepoint potal. so the dropdown box should not be populated from custom list in sharepoint. there was a feauture in which dropdown boxes can be looked up from datasource. but i want to know can a datasource can be made solely or the purpose of populating dropdown box. just like populating drop down box from a sharepoint custom list.

hoping for comments and answers and suggestions from all of you.
