I have been doing this with limited success. Being a novice some advice
would be gratefully accepted. I am a teacher developing a shared report
format, so a rang amateur.
I have a Sharepoint List as my data source. This contains the fields
ID; Subject; Essential; Key_Element; Description; Work_Completed
I want my colleagues to be able to select the subject field which then
automatically populates the other fields in text boxes (preferably rich
text
boxes but my data source will not recognise rich html fields in my
Sharepoint List). The ID field will not be displayed.
I can do this using drop down menus. The Subject menu uses ID as Value
and
Subject as Display Name. It then populates the other fields with the ID
number.
If I use a series of drop down menus I can get it to polutate each by
setting ID as the Value and Essential, etc as the Display Name.
The problem is that there is no formatting and the report prints with
underlined text.
I have no coding skills and little knowledge of functions. I only have a
simple grasp of applying rules.
Apologies for my ignorance but maybe you can help.
Thanks in advance

I want to the users of my form to be able to make a choice in one control
(a
menu), that automatically determines the value in four other controls.
Can
this be done? All would be from the same external data source, (A
sharepoint
list). All are in the same form.
I want two of them to be simple text boxes and the other two to be a rich
text boxes.
Thanks
