I&amp;#39;m guessing that if you add a date value and then clear it, the rule will fire and the text box will be set as expected.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you need the rule to fire on load, take a look at the Form Load rules.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Hope this helps.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>If [Date Field} is Blank Rule</title><link>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/90210.aspx</link><pubDate>Wed, 29 May 2013 08:15:52 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:90210</guid><dc:creator>roballen88</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/90210.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=41&amp;PostID=90210</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Hi,&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I have the requirement from a user to say thay if [Date Field] is blank, set&amp;nbsp;[Text Field] value as Not Started.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In the Rules on the Date Control, I have set up the rule:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;If [Date Field] is blank, Set A Fields Value {Text Field] &amp;quot;Not Started] although when I run the form nothing is displayed in the text field.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Any idea why this is the case?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;Thanks - Rob &lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
