Validations on InfoPath2007?

I did two projects on Infopath2007 . I got the chance to work on high level info path object model and have played around one year on infopath surface.
I would like to post one of the simple screenshot which explain the validation of the form.

After reviewing related docs Supervisor group should change task status based upon errors.
In this screen shot based on Minor and Major errors(s) user should select the proper approval choice (COMPLETED, COVERWRAP, INVALIDXEMID, REJECTED, ALREADYAPPROVED, AWC, NOTSTARTED, FAILED and SUBMITTED etc).
These three controls would depend upon each other. I implemented rules to select proper options based upon severity else show error message on the form.

Knowledge Champion on MOSS?

On 18th Nov Winners League'09 held in HCL,Noida.
I have selected as a SharePoint Knowledge Champion and am HCL T2ID SharePoint Trainer also.

I’m really pleased to get the award, as it’s nice to be recognized by HCL T2ID for what I’ve done. I find it useful (to me anyway!) to have a bit of reflection on what I’ve been up to for the last year.

Importance of PortalSiteMapProvider in WCM?

PortalSiteMapProvider provides a nice automatic caching infrastructure for retrieving list data. The class includes a method called GetCachedListItemsByQuery that was used in this test. This method first retrieves data from a list based on an SPQuery object that is provided as a parameter to the method call. The method then looks in its cache to see if the items already exist. If they do, the method returns the cached results, and if not, it queries the list, stores the results in cache and returns them from the method call.
SPQuery strQuery = new SPQuery();
strQuery.RowLimit = 1;
//Retrieve the items for the specified Target location from the Target list
strQuery.Query = "CAML query...";
PortalSiteMapProvider ps = PortalSiteMapProvider.WebSiteMapProvider;
PortalWebSiteMapNode pNode = ps.FindSiteMapNode(web.ServerRelativeUrl) as PortalWebSiteMapNode;
SiteMapNodeCollection pItems = new SiteMapNodeCollection();
pItems = ps.GetCachedListItemsByQuery(pNode, "targetListName", strQuery, web);
//Check if there are items for the specified target location
if (pItems.Count != 0)
{
try
{
//Retrieve the most recently created item for the specified Target location from the list
foreach (PortalListItemSiteMapNode pItem in pItems)
{//TODO}
catch (Exception ex)
{}
}
