I want to know how to make an expression that counts how many attachments the user has put on the form, so that, before I submit it, I can use a rule to stop, if the count of attachments is fewer than I want. Is this possible?

Thank you for the advice! I was able to move Submit rules over to Form Load rules. I now have 2 Form Load rules. The first occurs when ReadyForReview = FALSE (default) and the second occurs when ReadyForReview = TRUE. During the Form Load rule for RFR = TRUE I am switching to Approval view, resetting the AccountType, DisplayName, AccountID, ...

Where is the rule running from? OnLoad? I would think if it were an OnLoad rule, and has a condition to only execute if ReadyForReview=TRUE (and Approver1 is the only person who will open & submit the form once ready for review is true) that this would work as anticipated. It looks like you might be setting it when Ready for Review changes tho ...

thanks at least I made you laugh in any way :) thanks again until next time

Oh wow, I'm still laughing over that reply (and I REALLY NEEDED to laugh today) so thanks! Glad it is working :)

thank you so much works like a charm :). I want to eat your brain lol you're so good with this thank you

You just have to use the same XPath but with your fields? Maybe: xdXDocument:GetDOM("random date")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:Loan_x0020_number[not(. = xdXDocument:GetDOM("Randomizer")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:LOans)]

got your sample but how can I modify this to my datasource? using "random date" and "randomizer"?

Attaching a sample.

[quote user="Hilary Stoupa"]So - the issue is that by default, with XPath, you are going to get back the first "non-match" every time. Is that going to be acceptable?[/quote] yes correct as long its not match whatever rows it is that would be ok
