Problems using multiple fields in one or more rules

[Adam Harding]

I would greatly appreciate some help from someone with a lot more knowledge
than me. I am trying to set a rule that checks two fields to determine what
action it takes but am having some major problems.

The rule I am trying to setup says:
if FIELD 1 = Yes and FIELD 2 = No, then do 1
if FIELD 1 = Yes and FIELD 2 = Yes, then do 2
if FIELD 1 = No and FIELD 2 = No, then do 3
and
if FIELD 1 = No and FIELD 2 = Yes, then do 4

I have set this up in the rules but when I try to apply it, it applies no
rules at all.

I hope someone has an answer as this is causing me much frustration.

Cheers

Hi Adam,

I setup a quick test and here are the steps I followed:

- Created a new, blank form
- Added 2 text boxes to the form: field1 and field2
- On field2, added the following Rules:

Rule 1: field1 = "Yes" and field2 = "No"
Rule 2: field1 = "Yes" and field2 = "Yes"
Rule 3: field1 = "No" and field2 = "No"
Rule 4: field1 = "No" and field2 = "Yes"

On each Rule, I chose the option: "Stop Processing Rules when this Rule
finishes" and on each simply displayed a message box with a 1, 2, 3 or 4
simply to let me know which fired.

In each case, this appeared to work as expected - can you try these steps
and let me know the results?

Thanks!

I´ve had troubles with multiple fields in Word 2003 (the fields simply show
nothing when actualized) , but the same multiple fields work well in Word
2000 or 97.

It doesn´t answer the question, but I hope it helps.
