I currently use them to change the view depending on who is logged in (this is very useful functionality). I would like to know if there is a way to do this in the web and if not are there plans to allow rules in web forms in future releases? 05-04-2008 11:40 AM In reply to Clay Fox Joined on 06-27-2006 USA Posts 1,935 Re: Rules in web forms Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer...
