If you need to store the value, use a Text box with a default value formula.<br /><br />If you need your submit button to verify that the value in the expression box equals a certain number, then you will need to repeat the expression in your button condition.https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/11709.aspxWed, 16 Aug 2006 19:39:36 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:11709Methtical0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/11709.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=43&PostID=11709Hello,<br />I'm new to posting in the forum and Infopath. I am developing an employee time keeping form for my department and have found this site very helpful. I was wondering if anyone could assist me in completing it. <br /><br />Basically I have a repeating table so that users can fill in a daily attendace record. There is another repeating table below it for personal time off. At the bottom of the form I have an expression box to sum up the total hours from the two tables. The calculations are working correctly but I need to make sure the total equals 37.5 hours when they hit the submit button. If it is less than, a message should come up telling the person they are short and the form will not be allowed to submit.<br /><br />If it does equal 37.5 or more, it should submit without any messages or further interaction from the user.<br /><br />sum(my:timeEntries/my:timeEntry/my:totalHours) + sum(my:group3/my:group4/my:LeaveTotalHours)<br /><br /><img src='http://www.dot.il.gov/expression.jpg' border='0' /><br /><br /><br /><br />Thank you!<br /><br />
