Thanks for the post! I, for one, gave up on trying to find an explanation of how to implement the certificates. I'm sure it will come in handy for many people in the future.

Hmm, it worked in mine... What I've done: 1. copied the xml you listed here and used it as a 2DS. 2. followed the hierarchical tutorial, my main datasource looks like this: -myFields --Group1 ---RepeatingGroup1 ----Field1 ----Field2 ----Field3 3. doubleclicked each combobox and using ''Look Up Values In A Data Connection...'' I've bound the ...

The problem isn't so much that the ''='' is invalid. It's just in the wrong spot. Each tag or element requires a name and a closing tag (unless it's selfclosing).

Make sure to differentiate between nodes in your secondary datasource and fields in your main ...

Ok, the xml you've posted is a hierarchical datasource where the tutorial you've posted uses a flat xml datasource. If you need help adapting your uniqueness filter post what you've got and I'll take a look at it.

Without knowing more about how this search function works I can only offer this: translate(yourField, ''ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'',''abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'') this will concert a field to all lower case. In a rule you can use it to convert both the search field and the records to all lower case thus being insensitive to case. I'm no expert ...

If the source xml file isn't structured as you expect it would cause your problem. Could you post the structure and filter you are using?
