Thanks Jimmy, it worked like a charm, although for some reason now my web form is lagging a bit when a user makes a dropdown selection.

 The text box that counts that repeating table also counts other feilds throughout the form including another repeating table. Will this method still work? thx again

Just have the field's default value use the formula count(repeatingGroup)

I have a repeating table that displays Parts   and I have a text box at the bottom of my form that counts the # of rows that appear in that repeating table. When the user insets or removes a  row I want that the box to count or minus the row depends on what the user does. I have tried to figure this out but i am having a hard time

I want to check if a field has failed a validation rule. Is there a specific expression or xPath to check this?

It's not really a glitch at all.  The xsi:nil attribute has to be there when the field is created in order for it to be valid.  It's a schema violation for a numeric field to be blank unless it has an xsi:nil attribute.  But it's also a schema violation for a field to have a value and an xsi:nil attribute at the same ...

If changing the datatype from integer to text fixed the issue, then most likely the problem was that there was an xsi:nil attribute on the field that needed to be removed first.  Searching this forum for xsi:nil will get you a lot of info on that.  The only thing strange about that is that I wouldn't expect that to cause a ...

 So I solved the problem (partly) the Combobox was set to type "integer" rather than "text". Once I changed that all is good. Now my next question is...can you set the value of a type combbox where input is restricted to 'integer' values. the 'setvalue' method only accepts strings. There must be a ...

 Thanks for the reply and suggestion the spelling/case issue you pointed out is NOT the source of the problem.  --
