Patrick, this is what I ended up with. count(preceding-sibling::my:Sheet/my:Children/my:Child_Headings/my:Child/my:fldCNumber) + 1 I still received "preceding-sibling::my:Sheet/my:Children/my:Child_Headings/my:Child/my:fldCNumber" does not point to a valid location path of a field or group Thanx

Hi Timberhawk,

Probably your xpath is incorrect. Go to the main data source and right click on the node for the fldCNumber and choose copy xpath. Paste that into notepad and inspect it. Probably need to add a my: namespace or something. Also, you may want to look at the Count(), Position() and Current() functions in xpath. Best of luck.

Autonumber in a repeating section

Hi all. I have a form with a repeating section. I'd like to have each child section autonumbered. I have tried "count(preceding-sibling::fldCNumber) + 1" in the default value and get an error ("...does not point to a valid location path of a field or group.") and trying variations only gave me different errors. What am I missing? Thanx
