Using List Selections To Populate The Form (Conditional Lists??)

[Gomer]

I want to know how to have different portions of a form pull up based on the
chosen selection in a list. For example, if I were creating a form for users
to used for an automation help ticket. If the select 'Phone Problems' from
the pull down list, one set of questions shows up. If they select 'fax
problems' another set pulls up, if they select 'scanner problems' another set
pullls up, etc. I want the selection in the pull down list to dictate a
portion of the form, as opposed to them having to select it with an option
box.

I am guessing you would create some sort of a rule in the pull down list,
but I can't seem to figure it out.

Any help would be appreciated.

Typically you would put your specific content into a section.

So Phone Problem form content in one section, scanner problems in another,
and so on.

Then you would conditionaly format each section that if the field which the
list is bound to does not = the section name -> Hide
So for the Phone Problems example. If Selection != "Phone Problems" check
the hide box.
That way it will only be visible if that is there selection.

Thanks, that did the trick. I knew there must be a way to do it, but just
could not figure it out.

Thanks again.
