Re: Creating a button to hide and unhide a form

Sure, you should be able to do this with conditional formatting and an extra field.

The field could be a normal text field - with a default value of 1.

Create a button on your form which sets the value of the new field = -1 * the field.

Right click on the section you want to be able to hide - go to the conditional formatting and set when new field = -1 that the section is hidden.

Now the user can press the button once - section disappears - press it again and it reappears.

regarding my question on currency, this is what Im trying to do:

i tried to look at the binding and all, but as a noob with no background in programming, i find this a bit difficult.

edit:

here's what I did:

I created another text box then bound it to the currencies drop down list, removed the borders and shading.

Hello Batusai,

Why not using an optional section instead of a normal section for your two optional fields? That should do the job very well. For your currencies problem, i'm afraid I have no idea.

Hope that helps a little

Creating a button to hide and unhide a form

Im sorry but im not sure if this has been asked already or what im trying to do is even possible:

Is it possible to create that blue button to hide and unhide the section wherein i have "to be paid to supplier" and "income for tpli" text box? Im trying to do this that everytime a user prints this form, he/she has the option to hide this section?

Another question. How do I automaticaly add the currenies USD and PHP into Unit Price, Total Tax, and Subtotal whenever a user selects from the drop down currency.

Many thanks
