Awesome! Thanks! Scott

Ernesto - We just got our license squared away this week. I haven't downloaded the updated software yet but plan to today. For my existing forms, can I just update the qRules.xml resource file with the current version and then add the new dll to the exported files folder, save and then publish the form instead of using the injection tool? ...

John - I have been wondering about this as well. Is there a cleaner way of cleaning this up? It seems like a lot of manual steps for something that should be self-cleansing. Scott

At first glance, it appears that you may not be writing these values back to the data connection. Remember the data connection is setup to "Receive", if you want to write the data back to the list for the data connection. To do this you'll need to either need to use the SharePoint /_vti_bin/Lists.asmx web service to do this or ...

Thank Jimmy.  No luck.  I have used qRules with another client but it's not in the budget at the moment.  I have mentioned it though and it will be considered for next years budget.  For the time being, if the user enters a carriage return after adding their comments this will work.  :-)

Oh.... say it ain't so!  ARGH!!!!    Well, let me explain what I'm trying to do and maybe there's another approach.  I have a multi-line textbox field on my form.  I have a history multi-line textbox field (read-only) as well.  That if the Status field is not blank then concat the current History ...

Hi Jimmy - I tried using the newline from the xml 2DS file but it's not working in InfoPath 2007 Browser Enabled Forms.  It does work when I preview it using InfoPath 2010 Designer.    My XML looks like this. <?xml version="1.0"?> <linebreaks>     ...

Dave - There isn't a way to do this when configuring the properties for the data connection for the drop down but if you add a rule to filter the values based on the value in the previous drop down this is possible.  Scott  

That worked Hilary.  Thank you!!!  I've used that formula before, it just didn't occur to me.  For those who are interested, here is the formula to format the date MM/DD/YYYY - where @StartDate is the field from my 2DS(secondary data source) that I'm trying to format. concat(number(substring(@Start_Date, 6, 2)), ...

Thank you Hilary for the quick response but unfortunately that did not work.  It is text control and I did change it to a "Calculated Value" and set the Format of the field to Date ony as well as Date & Time and selected to only display the Date not the Time.  And yet, no love from InfoPath. :-( Thoughts?
