Programtically Hiding Fields

[Dave Butler]

All,

I'm not a developer (microsoft or otherwise) but I think the following
should be pretty simple to do?

I have a list of 5 Enterprise Project Outline Codes, none of which are
required. If, for example, a user does not enter a value for
EnterpriseProjectOutlineCode1, I would like to hide the remaining fields.

What is the best way to do this?

Thanks

Set users up with a view based on a table which does not contain those
fields. You can never permanently hide them.

I guess what I am really trying to do is dynamically display or format
fields. If (and only if) enterpriseprojectoutlinecode1 is populated should
the outlinecode2 field be displayed.

I'm assuming this should be pretty straightforward?

Thanks

sort of straightforward. You need to test each task to see if it has any
data in that field and then edit the table. It is certainly possible, but I
don't see much reason for it. I'd stick with some canned views instead.
Afterall, proper planning would result in clear understanding of which
fields are to be used for what.
