Just add formatting rules to the three fields to hide them when barcode status is entry or make them "disabled" if the barcode status is approved, etc. Managed rules, add rule, formatting, ... eminently doable.

Reply Contact Instead of a text field for barcode, you had a drop down list of items...how you apply the formatting to the three fields to hide them?? 08-24-2013 06:54 PM In reply to Patrick Halstead Joined on 08-08-2006 Posts 5,112 Re: Hide/Show fields from Infopath form Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact Easiest way would be to add all three fields to a section and add formatting rules to that section. The formatting rules now include not just the barcode status but also the barcode field. So you have to have a condition which has this value or that value (or this value AND that value). You don't need to add a section - you can simply copy the rules to each text box, but then labels still appear so I recommend putting them all in a section and adding your conditional formatting rules to the section.
