    Text box error

    I have created in Infopath 2003 SP 1 a created a repeating table in which I placed a text box and set the format to time. later on I changed this to a text box. At first the text boxes continued to act as though they were still collating data as time, I deleted them and replaced them only to find that the format still appears on the repeating table any ideas?

    Hi --

    What is the data type on the field bound to the text box? If you look in the Main Data Source in the Data Source Pane, and right click on the field that is connected to the text box, you'll be able to see the data type.

    Hello,

    If we changing the data type from Time to String then no need to delete existing time text box and adding text box again in that place.

    I tried this in my form but I am not able get any error for this. Can you give more details on it as you might be doing some thing else?

    I orignal created this form for travel, on there is a repeating table with 2 text boxes orignal set to time but then I changed to text later on and found I had to delete them and recreate them to get the boxes to act like text boxes. This appered to work however when the table repeats the below text boxes are showing the time as they did orginally.

     

    HELP!

    Hi, Once check the default value of the text box field. May be you are setting some time default.
