As Hilary pointed out, you would change the validation condition to be something like:

field1 is blank AND
User's current role is not equal to Role 1

here my point is the above form has to save without giving the validation error message.

I am using two text boxes bound to the same field to simply demonstrate the principle - which is that if you have some condition wherein you will be hiding a field, you could use the reverse condition in your validation rule, so that your validation rule will only fire when the field, whatever it may be bound to, is displayed on the form.

thank you very much for your help.

i am having one more doubt, can we do the same thing in the repeating table or not?

because my scenario is like that only. moreover i am not interested to use two textboxes only one textbox.

thank you,

BVS Rao.

In the header of this reply is a linked sample form. Save the form locally (right click and Save As...). From the location you saved to, right click the file and select Design to open in design mode. You'll be able to look at the rules I used there.

This is how validation works - even if the user can't see the field, if it is invalid, InfoPath won't allow the form to be submitted. Your validation will need to take into account the conditions that would hide or show the field - if you are simply setting the fields to "cannot be blank" you will need to change to custom validation rules...
