Hi,

You can also use expression box to solve your problem.

So you're saying that the field where you're storing the results is in the groupToSum group? If that's the case then you can probably get around this issue by storing the result in a field outside that group.

yes, I created a text box and used that formula.

what is the other way round to avoid error? Shall I use expression box?

Are you storing the result to a field in the groupToSum group? If you are, that formula will create a recursive loop, and that error.

dropmenu and autosum error

Hi,

I created an Infopath form and used dropmenu to aid user to select the right options.

At the end I created one textbox and inserted formula to autosum the values from the dropmenu. Formula used.... sum(/my:myFields/my:groupToSum/*)

When I tested the form, it worked fine.

Suddenly it has started showing me the following error :

"A calculation in the form has not been completed.The number of calculations used for single action exceeded the maximum limit"

Any help?

Thanks
