Thank you !!!!!!!

Well I certainly appreciate it.

Do you get paid to consult on this site?

Wow, great.

That was great! I didn't think it would work

Wow, thank you so much.

It works!!! :)

LOOK AT THAT!!!!!!!!

no, should I?

or else theyd have to fill it out monday through fridya and it only applies on mondays

and they can choose 1 of 4 or leave blank as the field is not mandatory

like i have a list of 4 options

yes

Nope

but actual selection from drop down

not just requiring free form text

Does it matter that the 2 fields are drop down fields

even though theyre blank

and theres no red anywhere near the other fields

so weekday shows as 1

let me try

sure

im doing a quick publish and then testing by filling out the form on sharepoint which shows up as an infopath-y type view

does any of that interfere

and then edit in InfoPath

Like, I set up all the columns and stuff in SharePoint

Does it matter that I'm working off of entries made in SharePoint that are connected to this list?

where do you get the asterisk

Weekday = "1" and Weekend_work is blank

Condition*

So I have validation rule.

instead of validation rule

should i be picking formatting rule or aciton rule

am i picking the wrong rule type for the 2 fields I want to be mandatory on monday

ok so i got the Weekday to populate as 1,2,3,4,5 etc based upon day of week

No red asteriks showing up at all

And it all went through

So I entered all the *mandatory fields and weekday said false and capacity outlook was blank

Weekday contains "false" and Capacity_outlook is blank

Both

It still lets me save the entry

ahhh

Darn, not seeming to work

How do you know all this stuff

ok let me try

ahhh

Should I make the field "mandatory" under list settings in sharepoint?

Hey Mike. Does the validation rule mean that the field will not appear when the rule's condition is not met?

K last question (I think!) When I create the new rule, I'm having trouble figuring out how I can say, make these 2 fields mandatory when Weekday = False... what are the steps to do that?

Thanks Mike. Another question... now when I select Monday, the weekday field says "False" and when I select Tuesday - Sunday, the weekday field says "True"... any thoughts?
