LiveCycle form error in Acrobat 8 "Invalid enumerated value: postSubmit"

Question

I created a form in LiveCycle ES that has a submit button by email. When this form is opened in Acrobat 9, no error messages pop up. When it is opened in Acrobat 8 the error message pops up "Invalid enumerated value: postSubmit".  I have seen other discussions regarding this error, but no answers.  Is there a way to fix this?

The problem is with LiveCycle Designer ES2 version 9.x. In this version under the File-> Form Properties if you select SetFocus and turn it on it puts the following code into the XML:
</
script> 
<?templateDesigner expand 1?></variables><
proto/><
desc><
text name="version">9.0.0.0.20091029.1.612548.606130</text></
desc> 
<?templateDesigner expand 1?>
<
event activity="postSubmit" ref="$form" name="event__postSubmit"><
script contentType="application/x-javascript">//+ GENERATED - DO NOT EDIT (ID:881AD7B1-842A-4CF3-BE05-E05C44ED287E CRC:3815899415)SetFocusOnFirstFailedField.DoSetFocusOnFirstFailedField(this);
</
script>
If you notice in the above code the postSubmit event. This postSubmit event is not supported in versions of Acrobat/Reader prior to version 9. Even though you have set the file to support version 7 this remains in the code. I resolved this by turning off setFocus in the Form Validation
