InfoPath Dev

Ok - the Edit XPath was the difference.  I tried to duplicate this function in the Improvements repeating table below and was getting the exact same error.  I had added the "../" manually and InfoPath didn't like it.  When I click on the Edit XPath button, the ../ is added automatically and I was able to Apply the ...

Thanks Hilary - I was able to open it and see it is working.  What is confusing though, is what you were able to place in the default value for landNumber via the fx button is exactly the same as I tried enter via the fx button.  I checked my original post to see what was different and the syntax is identical.  What could I have ...

Sorry it took me so long to get back to this problem.  I attached the form.  I am trying to get the autonumbering within the landNumber field within the Land Estimate repeating table. Thanks for your help!   

Is there a way to set the default font setting for a form?  I know under the page design I can set the font and size for controls but I am looking to do it for the entire form.  Right now, any new form I create uses Calibri with 10 pt.  How can I change this?

I've tried it both ways.  I've clicked on the fx button and tried entering by selecting the count function.  I've tried pasting my formula after clicking the fx button and I've typed it straight into the default value field without clicking the fx button.  Same error each way.

The landEstimate is the name of the repeating group.  I both of the options your provided above and both give me the same InfoPath error: The error says the The value is not valid for this field's data type.  Enter a different value (example:"1234") or leave the box blank.  Am I putting the function in the right ...

I have a number field within a repeating table.  How can I have this automatically increment when rows are added?  I tried putting the following within the default value property of my number field but it didnt' work.  InfoPath gives me an error saying the value is not valid for the field's data type - which is set to Whole ...

Thanks for your post, Anson.   I ended up going with a fixed height on the text box and using a scroll bar when necessary because I need the ability to add paragraph breaks.  The rest is a training issue for users - if they see the scroll bar, then they need to be aware that the form will bump to another page.  

I have a comment field where I use a text box contol that I need to limit the size so it doesn't push hard-coded text below it onto a new page.   I know in the text box properties I can limit the number of characters but when I used this, I lose the functionality of letting the users have Paragraph breaks within the text box. Is ...

The default formula wouldn't work - InfoPath didn't like the syntax so I went with hiding the field.  Thanks for your help.
