Repeating Table Validation problem

[Steve]

Hi,

I have a repeating table that comprises of...

Contact_Type
Contact_Details
Contact_Primary

i would like to cause a validation error if the contact primary field
is entered more than once i have tried using validation rule with an
expression is

count(my:ContactDetailsGroup/myetails/myrimary[. = "true"]) > 1

but this doesnt seem to help much.

any assistance given will be most appreciated.

Hi,

Use the following expression on the contact_primary field
.. = ../preceding-sibling::my:group4/my:field4 or . =
.../following-sibling::my:group4/my:field4 and . != ""

Here my:group4 -> repeating table.
my:field4 -> contact_primary field.

I have tested this and it is working.
Hope this will also work for you.

Thanks to you both, sometimes a nod in the right direction is just
enough!
