InfoPath Dev

Never mind, I was able to solve my issue.

This gets me the current value of the drop down list, not the content of the group Year1 under which YearSelection lies in.

e.Source.SelectSingleNode("YearSelection", NamespaceManager)

Hi Jimmy, many thanks for your help, I have found a way around this from another entry on this site. It calculates the difference between 2 dates and out puts this into another field I then take this value and use some conditional formatting to get my traffic light to work.

Hilary, Your post makes sense - I debugged using e.Source.OuterXml.ToString() and found myself on the current node, however I am not sure what would be the syntax of getting relative path of the node whose value I want to retrieve. For e.g I have a field "YearSelection" - how would I retrieve the value using e.Source as relative path. ...
