You can't place variable directly into XML. As the error implies, this makes the XML "Not well formed". Instead, you need to change the XML dynamically at runtime. Actually you have a couple of options.

1. Place code on the MouseDown event to modify the "format" attribute of the "submit" tag.

2. Submit the form with JavaScript in a regular button. Use the AcroForms "doc.submitForm()" function. Do a search on the "LiveCycle Designer" forum for this function. There's also an article here:
