InfoPath Dev

This may be a very simple question but I cant find it. When you choose add a rule and then an action not all the actions are showing, there is one where you can make a dialog box appear but its not showing up on a new form I am creating. This action is on another one but it seems to have just appread randomly as selectable. can anyone tell me how to make it a selectable action from the beging

 If your form's compatibility is set to Browser, that action will be missing. You can use File > Save As and change to a filler form. When you create a new form, be sure you select a filler form (all this is going to vary a little depending on what version of InfoPath you are using, but hopefully this gets you on the right path). :)

I really dont remember making that change in the other form. But thanks.

You may have selected the correct type of form to begin with in your other form. Here is more information: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/infopath-help/web-browser-compatibility-in-infopath-forms-services-HA010204085.aspx

You'll note for "Show a message" the linked article states the action is only available for filler forms.
