multiple-selection lists to display options when selected.

[kevin.miller]

Hello all,

I'm trying to work with a multiple-selection list that is being
updated by a SharePoint list. How do I have have the list display
different options depending on what is selected?

For example, I have a list of different data types to be backed up.
(SQL, Linux, Domino, File System) I would like to have the option to
then prompt for a location depending on what type of file needs to be
backed up. If they select Domino then they would have a box appear
that says something like "Enter the name of the Domino Database" or if
they select file system say something like "Please provide the path to
the folders to be backed up".

I want to have this allow multi selection so if they have more then
one data type to be backed up on a server they can check the needed
boxes. I'm using InfoPath 2007.

Any help would be very appreciated. Thanks

Kevin

For the messages to appear, you need to use rules on the multi-select list
box with conditions (on the rules) that are based on the value selected in
the multi-select list box. For text boxes to appear, you need to use
Conditional Formatting on the text boxes with conditions that are based on
the value selected in the multi-select list box.
