I use IP 2010, 07. Yet your issue looks like the following:

Try Try to write the condition formatting rule against the control not the group. Alternatively you'll have to add a section, then put your controls into that section. Write your rule against the section.

Hey again guys,

Thanks for the pointers, but I think I'm pretty screwed after reading what you wrote.
I'm a completely newbie when it comes to InfoPath, so this form was created in one big Cell.
Might be the reason why it gets messed up.

Anyways, I decided to re-create it.
This time, more clean and nice, one cell per control etc.
Either way, I've run into an issue.
I want to set conditional formatting on a Group which contains 2 controls.
But I can't figure out how to do it.
When right-click the group, and checking the properties, the Validation tab is greyed out.
What I wanna do is "If ControlX equals 1234 HIDE GroupX"

Am I missing something obvious here?

Hi-

We recently discussed a similar question here:

Could you check if the advice there helps?

Thanks!

For me I'd do the following.

Create a table 1 row wide (Insert>Custom Table) to the full width measurement that you want the completed form to be.

Then split the row into 2. (Table Tools>Split Cells>2). Then one column is for your label i.e. Last working date and the other column is for your data i.e. 21/06/2013

You could drag your fields to the rows for you and it would do most of the work.

Just add new rows as required i.e.right click on a row>Insert Row Below.

Hey,

When using a button with submit to email function, the email layout looks absolutely terrible, while the form looks great while viewing it through a website or in InfoPath.

Here's what it looks like in Preview.

And here we have it in the email.

I've googled like crazy, but I can't seem to find anything that helps.

I've checked all the "Width" attributes on the Controls, and nothing is set to 100% anymore, I've changed it to a static pixel width. Some reported that this fixed the issue, but it didn't for me.

What do I do?
