Hello all:

hope someone can help me with this.  I have an element that has a default
value of

count(../../../my:Header[msxsl:string-compare(my:Curr_Prj_Dts/my:POC,
my:Prom_Prj_dts/my:POC) > 0 and my:Prty <= 10 and my:Dev_Grp =
current()/../../my:Dev_Grp])

which sets the element to a count of items in a repeating group that meet a
certain criteria.  This works fine.

There are also rules set up on this this element that state if the count = 0
then set the value in another element to somthing, and if the count > 0 to
set the value in the other element to something else.  This also works.

I want to get rid of the first element and use rules on the second element
to set the value directly.  I thought I could just paste the above equasion,
with the proper logical operator at the end, into the condition as an
expression and it would work.

count(../../../my:Header[msxsl:string-compare(my:Curr_Prj_Dts/my:POC,
my:Prom_Prj_dts/my:POC) > 0 and my:Prty <= 10 and my:Dev_Grp =
current()/../../my:Dev_Grp]) = 0

or

count(../../../my:Header[msxsl:string-compare(my:Curr_Prj_Dts/my:POC,
my:Prom_Prj_dts/my:POC) > 0 and my:Prty <= 10 and my:Dev_Grp =
current()/../../my:Dev_Grp]) > 0

It does not.

No errors thrown, just does not set the value.

Any trick to using expressions?
