Assume I create a drop down for the "Source" Field. Assume that the values in the list are: article; dissertation; book, letter, and review. Further assume that there are different forms with different fields for each value on the list. How can I have IQ display the form associated with list value selected?
 
Thanks

You can't specify to use a specific form (I'm assuming you are referring to the forms in the Properties pane) as IQ is not a relational database. Any item can have any field-value. What you can do however, is have the list in a second field, depend on values from a first field. e.g.
 
Field 1: Choices are: article; dissertation; book, letter, and review. For a specific item, you select "letter".
Field 2: When you click to see the list of choices, the list is specific to letters (i.e. different list if you selected "book" for field 1)
 
It is a little bit complex to set it up, but with some help, you can get this setup. Don't hesitate to ask if that is what you want.
