It took me the longest time to understand this stuff. I still find myself saying "up the tree" as I type ../ when writing XPath. :)

For me, it is easiest to think of "current()" as meaning "this element" (whether a group, a field, an attribute). So, in the case of your specific function - the TempFilter was the item in the repeating group that we needed to use current for. The rule is on CourseSection, so in this case, current() = "this specific ...

Maybe try this? count(xdXDocument:GetDOM("BookStoreInventory")/dfs:myFields/dfs:dataFields/d:SharePointListItem_RW/d:ISBN[../d:year = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:Year and ../d:term = xdXDocument:get-DOM()/my:myFields/my:Term and ../d:EventID = current()/../my:TempFilter])

What field is the rule on?

Oh, so it uploads ok, just gives the error when you open it. Yeah, I would set up a test form, add the same data connection, admin approve it and see what happens when you open it.

Try using "div" instead of the "/"... although it looks in the formula you pasted in that you have spaces before and after the "/". Usually the issue I have is when I don't have spaces, so it looks like I'm trying to create an XPath instead of divide :)

So - can you attach a copy of your form, or post a screenshot that shows the main data source structure, in a reply under the options tab? Is "my:Class" the repeating group? Is this count going in a field as a default or in a calculated value in the repeating table?

Is this question in regard to this post? This poster was asking about adding digital signatures to list forms, which I don't believe is possible.

Oh how horrible. This is an admin approved form? You are uploading to central admin? I think I'd try first uploading as a new form template (instead of updating existing) - just for testing. Take a copy of the form, publish with a different form name, see if you can upload to Central Admin. If that fails, I'd create a test form, just a new ...

Ok - it would be super helpful if I could see your form :) Can you attach the template to a reply? Or email via the forum and I'll reply and then you can send it to me?
