Reply Contact Hi Hetal,I'm not sure what you mean here. Conditional formatting can be done on sections. Did you double-click on the section and go to the Display tab?

Reply Contact I mean say for example if the value in a field goes greater than 5000 the linked section (which has couple of fields in itself) becomes visible for users to fill out. Otherwise its hidden sections. 03-22-2007 01:22 AM In reply to Aruna Joined on 12-13-2006 India Posts 17 Re: Opening sections of a form Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer... Reply Contact Hi hmalkan,1.

Reply Contact I actually got it working in an optional section. If the field value is less than 5000, then dont allow users to insert or delete this section. I actually want the section to open up itself. Instead of pressing the insert button. 03-22-2007 09:43 AM In reply to Matt Faus Joined on 08-18-2006 Dallas, Texas Posts 1,558 Re: Opening sections of a form Mark as Not AnswerMark as Answer...
