Is there a way to change the properties of a control based on an action on another control:

     The two things I'm trying to do is:

     1.  Switching  a Read only text box to allow for text entry if a check box is checked.

     2.  Based on a value selected in a dropdown, making a subsequent text box field required, that originally wasn't.      

Thanks in advance for your help

1. This is very easy - just add a formatting rule to "disable the control" based on the value of the checkbox.

2. You can't use rules to force schema validation, but you can just add a conditional formatting rule based on the dropdown to highlight the field if it's blank and the dropdown value is equal to some specific value.

Hope this helps,

Hi hzainal, on #2, you could add data validation to your text box:

If @dropdown = 'required' and @textbox is blank

This would work if 'required' can be 'cannot be blank.'
