I'm thinking your conditional formatting needs to be based off a count of the repeating group where the checkbox is whatever = checked in your form. count(group/repeatinggroup[checkboxfield='true']) > 0 sort of a thing.

I can make it work if the checkbox is in the first row of the repeating table.  BUT, if the first row's checkbox is empty and the second row's checkbox is full, the hidden section never appears.  I am using a web-based data entry form.  Any other ideas?

 This was the issue.  I modified the form slightly and the contact selectors work properly.  Thank you very much. I would very much like to upgrade them to the 2010 people picker control, but my supervisor is worried about breaking the form template.   Thanks again!

It seems like if there were a way to use a default value, that might behave better than a rule - in the case of merging, at least. But the default calc would be pretty tricky, since you sort of need a condition. Here's a blog post that explains a way to create a type of conditional default that I've used before. But I think first ...

Thanks.  I'll look at it.

Sure, you could do this with code - but that seems like a lot of overhead for such a small feature. No way you can add "Others" to your SharePoint list?

If your documents are in SharePoint, you can use the relink feature to fix up a bunch of documents at once. If not, I don't believe InfoPath provides an easy way to do this (besides the manual text editor approach).  That's why we created the Modify PI tool, which can change the HREF for an entire folder full of XMLs at ...

Thank you Hillary. I will look into a sharepoint solution.
