     why dont you just set the show only properties with unique display names to true(i.e. check that checkbox) and duplicates wont list up, in the drop down

    Qazi,

    I don't have that option?  I am using InfoPath 2003.

    Can you go through this forum post? - where I attached a sample template which validates a drop-down list for duplicates.

    I tried to look at the file but your version of infopath is newer than mine so I couldn't open the file.  I am on Infopath 2003.

    Hi Carrie,

    The form contains two controls - below are the details:

    1. Created a repeating table with duplicate values (that is field2 in group2)
    2. Added a drop-down list box (that is field1) and bound it to the repeating table - attached a screenshot of the filter condition.

    Hope that helps!
