I Got it!! My mistake was trying to handle the event based on the control ID when I should have been handling the change in the dataobject DOM. Thanks for your help!, it got me looking on the right track, then found a good example on MSDN. Cheers!

Hi Patrick, sorry for the lack of background. here's the post I originally added to newbie forum. <excerpt> Any way to effectively debug a dropdown control's ''Some rules not applied. Unspecified error'' error? I've got a dropdown that's bound to my main datasource, but populates its options from a secondary data source; which all works ...

Patrick, it would seem that this can be done in vb.net per this thread you contributed to back in 2005: http://www.infopathdev.com/forums/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=695 Is it just c# that won't play well here? Thanks!

Thanks Kaylan! My problem was that since the original textbox was created from the main datasource queryfields, it wouldn't allow me to set the datatype. But I had another textbox referencing a custom field I created that did not strip off the zeroes on button click even though it has a text(string) format, so I deleted the queryfield bound ...

Hi, I've got a text box that is of format type simpletype and is bound to a queryfield, and when I click on a button that initiates the query it first removes all zero's at the front of the number entered; even though the data type is not numeric. This is a royal pain since the data has the format 001 etc.. and is of a string format in the db. ...

Thanks Greg! I actually stumbled across this solution on msdn right after I posted and it's working great. Cheers!
