With a slight adjustment to your Expression Statement by removing the /my: at the beginning, it worked...so I thought.

What seems to be happening is that if my Name is in the "BrandManager" Field on the FIRST row of the repeating table, the Conditional Expression that's tied to the Radio Button for that Row seems to be applying the control to the entire repeating table. So, it appeared to work, when I tested it. However, once a different user opened the form and their name was on Row 2 in the "BrandManager" Field, they were not able to interact with the Radio Button on THEIR Row (Row #2), even though their name was in the "Current_User" Field (This field is updated each time during the 'On Open" event. Each row on the repeating table should be evaluating the "Current_User" Field to each Repeating Row Uniquely, and it doesn't appear to be happening with the Conditional Expression below. Thoughts?

Expression Statement: not(my:BrandManager = /my:Fields/my:Misc/my:Current_User)

Thank You,

Tom

I think you want something more like:

not(my:BrandManager = /my:myFields/my:Misc/my:Current_User)

or perhaps

not(../my:BrandManager = /my:myFields/my:Misc/my:Current_User)

If you want to actually hide the radio button as opposed to disabling it, you can place it inside a small Section control bound to the same node as the radio button or the repeating group.

Conditional Expression Question

I'm hoping someone can help me on something that I'm struggling with regarding how I would do the following:

1. Evaluate a field called "BrandManager" that sits on a repeating table (The BrandManager names will vary across the repeating rows)...

2. Compare the previous "BrandManager" field to the "Current_User" field (A Non-Repeating Field on the form and is the User who has opened the form which I set using the GetUserProfileByName Web Service)...

3. Disable a Radio Button on the Repeating Row where the "BrandManager" field on that specific row DOES NOT EQUAL the "Current_User"...

The examples on this site are awesome and there's so many talented people out here, I'm thinking someone might have some insight.

When I take and modify one of the examples I found:

not(/my:Fields/my:BMApproval_Section/my:BMDetail_Group/my:BrandManager[. = /my:Fields/my:Misc/my:Current_User])

It appears as if it doesn't discriminate accross each Repating Row, rather, the entire table. How would I alter the above statement to evaluate the "BrandManager" against the "CurrentUser" to hide the Radio Button Control if they don't equal each other?

Many Thanks!!!
