 * In this case how can I limit the amount of entries?
    I have 2 categories Digital
   and prints. I have a field ‘Sequence’ choices are image 1 image 2 and makeup.
   the person can submit 2 entries per categories but they are allowed 2 makeups
   also. So technically they can submit 4 entries per category. Putting a limit 
   of 2 will not work. Putting a limit of 4 then they can submit 2 ‘images 1’ and
   2 ‘images 2’. or nay other combination. (I know the user should know better) 
   Is there a way to control it with restrictions?

 * If I’m understanding you correctly, it sounds as if your concept of “Makeup” 
   is a bit different from your “Sequence” concept, and does not really belong in
   the same field.
 * Could you perhaps have 4 categories: Digital, Digital Makeup, Print, Print Makeup,
   each with a max of 2?
 * Or another way would be combining the two drop-down fields in one, with options:
   
   Digital 1 max 1 Digital 2 max 1 Digital makeup max 2 Print 1 max 1 Print 2 max
   1 Print makeup max 2
 * Or did you mean you only allow a total of two makeups, regardless of category?
 * In that case, use
    Digital 1 max 1 Digital 2 max 1 Print 1 max 1 Print 2 max 
   1 Makeup max 2
 * Of course, you may get people entering Digital 2 with no Digital 1 — would that
   matter?

 * No to both possibilities.
 * Only 2 categories: Digital or Prints.
 * A person can enter 2 Dig and 2 prints; Image 1 and Image 2. and If the prior 
   month they did miss one or 2 entries for either categories, they can enter them
   as makeups.
 * I agree a maker can submit 2 ‘images 2’ or 2 ‘images 1’.
    No control there either.
   The choice of Image 1 or image 2 was so that they recognize how many they are
   entering. The value/label is meaningless. What is important is the ‘makeup designation’
   of that category entry.
 * You are correct I could create digital makeup and print makeup and limit them
   to 2.
 * My example was to simplified to concept. But in real uploading, we may have 6
   or 7 categories, so it would double the number.
 * I was hoping for some control in restrictions.
    If that is not possible, them
   I will have to go that route an deal with it within my program.

 * If you are allowing 2 makeups in each category, then I think whatever you did
   you would need at least one restriction for each category, which would be even
   more work.
 * The only other solution I can think of is two separate webforms, one for makeup
   and one for regular, using the same layout. Or just keep the previous month’s
   webform open.

 * Option 2 will not be good as I need the closing spread sheet.
 * I think option one even if it is more work, may be more suitable.
    Thanks for
   the attention, responses and Ideas. Very much appreciated.
