Re: Check box choosing which fields to display

If you can give an exact explanation what you want to do it is easier to help, I am not quite sure what is not working for you. The rule I would use is something like "if checkbox1 is equal to FALSE, hide textbox1".

Hello,

I've been trying various rules to solve this problem but I can't seem to make it work.

I'd really appreciate it if you could give me a sample, or point me in the direction of a walkthrough for my problem.

Thanks

John

You mean "as long as the checkbox is not selected there will be no textbox shown"?

In that case, right-click the item you want to hide, choose "conditional formatting" and add the rule you want.

Thanks for your suggestion ollewessel,

Do you know of a way to prevent the output text field from displaying (ie vanishing) if the check box is empty?

This is maybe not the slickest way to do it, but a start.

Create the three "view score x" as "rules and custom code" buttons (or buttons next to the "view score"-text).

For each button, define a rule to query your data source for the score, and print it in a textbox.

The structure would be /the score one button queries data source one/ prints it in textbox 1 (the datafield of source one)/ score two button queries data source 2/ prints it in textbox 2/ etc...

Hope this helps you to start.

Hello everyone, thank you for a great site.

I'm new to infopath and would like some advice. I'm trying to design a system whereby tutors can view feedback from students. The data is in an access database and I'm trying to create a front end for the admin staff at various sites to use.

I'd like a situation similar to the following:

Tutor Name: Smith

View score one? []

View score two? []

View score three? [X]

etc

Clicking Query from this example would generate

Tutor Smith

Score three is 9

Obviously selecting scores one and two would display the scores on the output.

Firstly, is this possible, and if so, how would I go about doing it?

Appreciate any help you could give me

John
