Another option might be to save the form as source files and search the manifest.xsf - not sure what the action is for a dialog box, but you could make a little sample form with just a dialog box rule, save as source files, and look at the manifest.xsf - then you'd know what to search for. :-)

I do this when I accidentally break forms by removing data sources they are using someplace.

Ok so I just solved it... Lol!! Here's how I solved it: did a "Save As" and spun off a second copy of the form. Closed the original, opened the new one (just to be 100% certain). Now I started deleting. I deleted all the form views and then ran the design checker again. Didn't do it; then I deleted almost all of the data sources - that fixed it! (Surprise? Not really). Closed the mangled version without saving. Then I reopened it and deleted about half of my data sources; the second half eliminated the error. Close without save and reopen. Did that about 3 or 4 times, deleting and running the design checker. Finally found the suspect field. As it turns out, I had a dialog box rule for a field, but I had disabled that rule at some point during the design process. Perhaps this is why it didn't take me to the suspect field? After finding the suspect rule I then reopened the original form and deleted it, solving the problem. So there it is, problem solved.

InfoPath 2010 Design Checker dialog box error

InfoPath 2010 design checker throws the following error "Dialog box actions are not supported". When I click on the error I receive the following pop up message: "Using a rule to automatically display a diaolog box is not supported in web browser forms..." Problem is that it doesn't show where on my form I have a dialog box action. I've manually checked all my data sources / fields and I can't seem to find it... I wish I could upload the XSN template, but I am about 100% certain that my organization would not be thrilled about that. Any suggestions?
