I am referring to the new email field.  So your saying I can unbind the control and still should be ok?  What a learning experience :)    

First of all, thanks to Hilary, Clay, Matt, Greg and everyone else who has gotten me this far.  You guys are the best.  Here is my scenario: We use an ERP (JDE E1) to manage our back office which, of course stores all of our data in a SQL database.  I had our DBA create a scaled down version for me that just contained certain ...

Ah, you see, the rules aren't set on the control -- they are set on the field that is bound to the control. So if you go to your Data Source Task Pane, and right click on the field that the control is bound to (region, or whatever the name) and select Properties, you'll see a rules tab. Any rules bound to the field will be there. I guess ...

Worked like a champ.  One last quick question is what is the best approach hide that column and control from the end user filling out the form?  I obviously need ti include it in the default view as there are rules against it.  I toyed with views but for one column that seems silly.   I thnk the best approach would be ...

Hi -- I think the reason no one has responded is that we don't know of a way to allow multiple users to use a single form.There are ways to merge multiple forms into a single form, and perhaps that might be a solution that could work for you. Each person would have their own .xml file as well as another form that shows the merged results. ...

Sure thing. First, add a field to your main data source: Right click the group you wish to add the field to (probably your top level group) and select Add Name the field email and say okay (note: if you already have something named email, pick another name, just use the name you pick in the other steps). Next, add a rule to the field ...

Any clues anyone?

Hilary,  Thanks for the quick reply.  Being new to InfoPath some detail would be greatly appreciated.   I understand the solution its just getting aclimated with where to do this is a bit challenging.   Paul  

 please need help

When you click "verify this formula" you don't get any errors? Are you using IP2003 or 2007? I've found that the behavior with current() is not always consistent between the two. Another thing you can try is using a rule instead of a default value. If you are using IP 2007, I think it will generally add current() for you on ...
