InfoPath Dev

Hi Jo-Anne, I've currently got qRules, but would my outcome still be achieved if its a webform?

I have added a rule to a checkbox that when checked it will add a specific number to another field.  That works great but when I uncheck the box it doesn't remove the number from the field. What am I missing in my rule? Using InfoPath 2007   Thank you Vicki

I am very new to using InfoPath and using formulas.  Is there any tutorials on formulas in InfoPath? I want to create a formula that will take the first letter in the firstName field and merge it with the entire lastName field, all in lower case. Can anyone help with this?

Unfortunately I don't believe there is an easy way to have placeholder text have line breaks in InfoPath. Have you considered using a task help pane, a show/hide section to include help text, or a tooltip?
