Repeating Tables.. Conditional Formatting

[abc]

I'm connected to access db and using SP1.

I have a repeating table called Methods and a repeating table called
Demonstration.

I would like the Demonstration repeating table to HIDE when the user
selects a DEMONSTRATION from the Method repeating table.

Currently, I have conditional formatting for the Demonstration
repeating table set to:

When "Method (field) is not equal to Demonstration (text)", Hide this
control.

When I test this out.. I select Demonstration from Method table and the
Demonstration repeating hides, BUT if I select Demonstration and Case
Study (another method).. the Demonstration table hides.

I need the Demonstration table to be visible ANYTIME Demonstration is
selected from the Method repeating table!

Please HELP!!!!

Have you tried "does not contain"?

Yes, when I use "does not contain".. and I select the two methods (Case
Study and Demonstration) from the methods repeating table.. I try to
insert a Demonstration and its disabled. Any other suggestions?

Do you think its because in my conditional formatting.. its not calling
methods as a repeating table???

I'm noticing that it works when Demonstration is selected as the first
method before inserting the next methods.

Hi,

If you have complex logic, why don't you use "xdExtension" for you
conditional formatting. This way, you can build code logic (looping though
the nodes of your method section) to return true or false in order to show or
hide your demonstration section.
