Conditional Formatting - not enough room for one condition

A

abc

I'm trying to write one condition using conditional formatting. I have
7 criteria to enter, but infopath only provides 5 places to write
criteria.

For example, I'm trying to write-

If this condition is true:
Field1 is not equal to Name
Field1 is not equal to Number
Field1 is not equal to Address
Field1 is not equal to Zip
Field1 is not equal to DoB
Field1 is not equal to City
Field1 is not equal to State
Hide this control (checked!)

Infopath only lets me enter up to DOB. Is there anyway I can enter the
rest??? How would I do this??

HELP!

The design feels odd to me. Why do you have what look like potential
field names as, so it seems, field values to be tested?

I suspect that there may be something wrong with your design.

What information are you trying to collect?

What controls are you using?

I would agree with Andrew. You may be better off revisiting what you are
trying to achieve.
If you still find out that you real need to break the limit of 5, you may
want to do it by code. Using xdExtension provided by InfoPath to link your
complex function to your control.

Basically, I have this 'Box of Information' (section) that needs to be
displayed anytime the user chooses a role (drop down list) that
contains the word RN. In my dropdown list there are about 7 different
names that contain RN.

I need to write conditional formatting on the Section to display, ONLY
IF the user selects a Role containing RN.

There are "contains" or "does not contain" options available to you
when creating rules. From your description you may be able to create
the conditional formatting that you want using a single rule.
