&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
we have a tricky InfoPath form which displays the &amp;quot;The rules or code may be causing an infinite loop&amp;quot; warning message in our environment, but otherwise the form seems to be working correctly. The strange thing is our customer (who is also the creator of this form) doesn&amp;#39;t see this warning message at all (in spite of using the very same form) and on the other hand he has a form field validation problem which we don&amp;#39;t experience at all: when the customer enters the form field with the validation (the field value must be 4-7 digits) and starts typing, he gets an InfoPath warning message that the value must have 4-7 digits after each entered character (digit).
In our environment the same form field acts as expected - the warning message is only displayed if the form field value is not 4-7 digits and we try to leave the field.
Until we try to leave the field we can type whatever we want  into that field without any warning message.
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Rings any bells? If anyone had any theory, please feel free to brainstorm a bit...
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
How is it possible that the same form can behave in such different ways? The only thing that have crossed my mind was perhaps a different behavior of different InfoPath versions towards the same form... We&amp;#39;re using InfoPath 2010, I&amp;#39;m not sure, which version of InfoPath the customer uses (we haven&amp;#39;t received this info yet).
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Still, I&amp;#39;m quite confused why on earth would (using the same form) one environment complain about the &amp;quot;The rules or code may be causing an infinite loop&amp;quot; but worked fine otherwise, while the second is fine with the exception of having to deal with the &amp;quot;form field must have 4-7 digits&amp;quot; whenever any character is typed into the particular form field (until the condition of 4-7 digits is met).
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Thanks.</description></item></channel></rss>
