Hi hzainal, on #2, you could add data validation to your text box:

If @dropdown = 'required' and @textbox is blank

This would work if 'required' can be 'cannot be blank.'

1. This is very easy - just add a formatting rule to "disable the control" based on the value of the checkbox.

2. You can't use rules to force schema validation, but you can just add a conditional formatting rule based on the dropdown to highlight the field if it's blank and the dropdown value is equal to some specific value.

Hope this helps,

Changing the properties of a control based on an action on another control

Is there a way to change the properties of a control based on an action on another control:

The two things I'm trying to do is:

1. Switching a Read only text box to allow for text entry if a check box is checked.

2. Based on a value selected in a dropdown, making a subsequent text box field required, that originally wasn't.

Thanks in advance for your help
