Hi shashikant,

If you are using field1 as the date for today, you will have to use this formula instead:

field2 > addDays(field1, -7)

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much. I have tried this as well but somehow it is not working. I am new to InfoPath. I have a form where there are two date fields & it will be used for saving exceptions for defects. Now I need to ensure that no one is able to enter any exception more than 7 days prior to current date(Today). Field 1 is today & Field 2 is the date of exception.

Please help!

Hi shashikant,

I usually use a date validation error with a condition like this:

field1 > addDays(today(), -7)

Would this approach work for you?

Regards,

I need to limit the users to enter the data for say last one week. Have tried Field(current date)-7 in validation but does not trigger an error. Please help!
