Creating a Form with a question pop up

[Caryn]

I am trying to create a form at work. I wanted to know how to have an
answer lead to other questions popping up. For example, when they answer yes
to a) Goverment Rights Clause , then it pops up the prompt for inputting a
contract/award number. Does anyone know how to do it? I am new to using
these types of functions, so the clearer the better. Thanks!

Hello Caryn,

One possibility you might consider is having all questions available
on the form with conditional formatting (determining whether a control
is enabled or not) applied to the subsiduary question(s) which depend
(s) on the answer to your key question.

In form design view, click on the subsiduary question and select
Format|Conditional Formatting... to bring up the conditional
formatting dialog. For Condition 1, select Expression Is and in the
text entry area type something like '[Government Rights Clause] =
'Yes'. Set the Enabled state of the field using the button to the
right of the font colour button. Remember to set the Enabled state of
the Default Formatting at the top of the dialog to disabled.

This is only one of many ways you might do this but I think it is
straightforward. I too will be interested in seeing other replies.

Kind regards,
John
