    using a control to change views

    I am attempting to create a form with multiple sections. Some of these sections should only appear if a value is selected from one of the controls (ie: checkbox; Y or N). I have been reading Scott Roberts/Hagen Green's book on InfoPath 2007 and am led to believe that one of the ways to do this is to create a different view which can be triggered by a Rule set in the control. I do not see the option to change views showing up in the selectable actions to be performed when a rule executes. I do not wish to open another form; I want all the data entry to be within this form, but fro the section to be kept hidden until it is required.  Also, I considered using an optional section, but i don't want the end users of the form to have to select this section: I want the control (ie: checkbox) they select to drive the event of a new view/section for them to complete, and then, when complete, return them to the previous view to allow them to complete filling out the reamining sections. Is this possible?

    Hi,

    Have you tried adding conditional formatting to your sections? I imagine the logic would be something like if your checkbox is not equal to Yes, then hide the section control.

    Hope that helps...

    Actually, I did find a way to do this using the Section properites to HIDE when certain condition sexist in a control. Thanks.
