&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
You can do this with custom data validation.  In the Data Source task pane, double-click on the field that you want to conditionally set as required, and then then go the the Data Validation tab.  You can construct the condition there using IS NOT BLANK.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hope this helps!</description></item><item><title>Field not required</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/19643.aspx</link><pubDate>Mon, 07 May 2007 21:38:59 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:19643</guid><dc:creator>oldradio99</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/19643.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&amp;PostID=19643</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;I am having a brain gas bubble (being politically correct).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Using IP 2003&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I have a field that I want to say is not required if another field is not &lt;br /&gt;blank.&amp;nbsp; In other words, make field 2 required if field 1 is blank.
