Reply Contact Hello,I have created a section in a form (InfoPath 2010) that I would like hidden until the form is submitted. The section has one field in it and the field has concatenated text along with some xml for line breaks. I have tried everything I can think of to hide this section and for whatever reason it will not hide. I have set the rule to hide if a certain other field holds a specified value and it will not hide. Does anyone know if there is an issue with hiding a field if it has concatenated text or xml in it?

You can attach it under the Options tab in a reply.

Reply Contact Thanks Hilary! I figured it out. For whatever reason I had to move the field I was pulling the condition from to another group and it worked. I'm not sure why it had to function that way this time but for whatever reason it did.Thanks again. Page 1 of 1 (3 items) Copyright © 2003-2019 Qdabra Software.
