When you choose to select a field to set, there is a drop-down box at the bottom of the window that allows you to select this occurrence, all occurrences, any occurrences. Use this to select 'all occurrences'

Hi adamrharding,

Err... I'm not sure about "all occurrances" that you mean?

Sorry for my misunderstand...

Cheers.

Hi again

Right your problem is that you are only selecting the first field in the repeating table, you need to select "all occurances" that should do it.

Hi adamrharding,

I use InfoPath 2007. I try to set condition of rules of button before Rule 1 (Above message) fired.

At first, I go to my button, then select "Button Properties..."

On "Button Properties" dialog, Click "Rules..." for opening "Rules" dialog.

On "Rules" dialog, I choose my first rule and then set condion...

On "Conditions" dialog, I try to set conditions for validate field in repeating table. When I select field and set condition "is not blank".

It's not work.

Do you know about other solution?

Cheers.

What sort of difficulty are you having? I have used validation on a repeating table field before with no problem.

Cheers

Thanks again,

Now I understand. But I have some problem about using condition to validate field (require field - xxx field cannot blank) in repeating table rule.

Do you know about it?

Cheers.

In that case separate out the rules so that the first rule engages the validation check and the second rule is dependant on the validation check working to allow the SharePoint submit.

I think that will work

Thanks adamrharding,

I forget to expand about my button. These are my button's rules.

Rule 1 set value to field.

Rule 2 submit to Sharepoint Document Library

Rule 3 Close Form.

I want to validate entire form, must fill out complete, before start Rule 1.

I think, may be Condition of Rule 1 .... or new Rule Before Rule 1....

How can I validate entire form?

Cheers.

Hi again

Simplest way I can think of is to set a fields value to X on button click and then your validation on the field includes looking for X before applying the validation.

Job done I hope

Cheers
