In this section you have to add the optional section with controls and add your conditional formatting for newly added section.</p>https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/37987.aspxMon, 02 Feb 2009 21:10:33 GMT033a2e2d-04e2-4a9d-be01-a4634161eefd:37987Mauth0https://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/thread/37987.aspxhttps://www.infopathdev.com:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=39&PostID=37987<p>I appologize if i missed a relevant post on this topic, but what i read while searching didn&#39;t help me out.</p> <p>&nbsp;What i need to do is prevent users from &quot;skipping ahead&quot; in a simple checklist without first filling out the checks beforehand. What i would LIKE to do is set groups of controls in something like an &quot;Optional Section&quot;, and hide the entire section until all controls in the previous section have been addressed. </p> <p>&nbsp;Thanks for any help you can provide.</p>
