    Create Rules for value of text box to be dictated by value of Drop down boxes

    Hi,

    I've seen a couple of posts similar to this, but not yet found one that answers this particular issue.

    I'm creating a browser enabled form and I have a collection of 3 drop down list boxes and a text box.

    I am trying to create rules whereby the text box displays a certain code that depends on which combination of values have been selected from the drop down lists.

    Rule Condition is

    When DD1 is equal to "1"

    AND

    DD2 is equal to "2"

    AND

    DD3 is equal to "3"

    Actions

    Set a Fields Value: . = "MM1"

    I have double checked all the values are correct, but when I preview the form and select the correct values in the DD's, nothing happens.

    I figured its either a limitation of Browser Enabled forms, but seeing as I have other rules in place for cascading drop down lists, I thought this would work too. Alternatively, do I need to do something to trigger the recalculation of the text box so that it reads the values now passed in the DD's? Do I need anything to go in the Default Value field, I've tried blank and it's own value, but no joy.

    Any help with this will be much appreciated.

    Thanks

    Ryan

    Sorry for being silly, just realised you need to repeat the rule throughout all the drop down boxes to get it update the textbox
