Hi Carrie,

The form contains two controls - below are the details:

1. Created a repeating table with duplicate values (that is field2 in group2)
2. Added a drop-down list box (that is field1) and bound it to the repeating table - attached a screenshot of the filter condition.

Hope that helps!

I tried to look at the file but your version of infopath is newer than mine so I couldn't open the file. I am on Infopath 2003.

Can you go through this forum post? - where I attached a sample template which validates a drop-down list for duplicates.

Qazi,

I don't have that option? I am using InfoPath 2003.

why dont you just set the show only properties with unique display names to true(i.e. check that checkbox) and duplicates wont list up, in the drop down
