 I was unable to make this work in any way at all.  There must be a way to accomplish this.  I did set a value of a field and then in the rules, close form is not an option. It only appears as an option for buttons.  The Close this form after submit is not working either.  I have this form showing within XMLFormView so ...

Well, the formula will depend on the XPath to the fields. What I usually do when I need to create a condition that is sort of outside the scope of the drop downs in the condition builder is leave the first drop down to whatever it is defaulted to, and the second it's default (usually, the first would be the field you are setting the ...

Hi - the tutorial you mention involves using our product, qRules - if you aren't using that, I'd imagine the tutorial would not be helpful. You can use OData, if you are using SharePoint 2010. REST is not the same as using owssvr.dll. You'll want to use REST connections to the OData service. Here's a video I put ...

Thanks for the reply.  I actually figured that is what I needed to do but I didn't/don't know how to say "if these two boxes don't equal 40 trigger an error", in the rules/error boxes. Would you be able to tell me step-by-step how to do this?  I am using InfoPath 2007.   Thanks

You could use custom validation for this - add validation to the Total Hours Worked and the Total Absences fields that is triggered if the two added together is not equal to 40. You could also just use rules on your submit - have the condition be if the two fields don't equal 40 to display a message box (filler only - we don't have ...

Are you entering a value in the field that is causing the validation issue? Is the field displayed on your form?

Hi there, I'm attempting to create a simple C# button that can convert a # of InfoPath forms to PDF (60+).  My knowledge of C# is basic but I would really like to take a stab at this as it would diminish quite a bit of administration time (and the use of any third-party off-the-shelf solutions).  I am creating this within an ...

In the properties you can enter a formula (fx button) for the calculated value control.  This is where you would build your concat statement.  Let me know if you still can't find it.  Good luck!

Yes - thank you!  I just actually figured that out the same time you sent me the post.  I appreciate your quick response. Jeanne
