It isn't a dumb question at all, and I really struggle with it. It has to do with the != aspect of things. If we were deciding when to show the control - we'd say "Show the control if this is Low and that is Low" and it would make sense. But when we are hiding, and we have negatives, we are saying "Don't show the control ...

 That all makes perfect sense.  You are a life saver!  I think I chose to use the checkboxes because of my formatting, but mostly I think I just forgot that radio buttons are a feature... Not sure how to recover from that one haha.    This is probably a dumb question, but... Why is it an ...

Ok. So looking at your formatting rule - you need to be using OR instead of AND there - I got it backwards on my sample form at first, too. Save the attached form locally, right click and select Design, then preview. I didn't add all the buttons, just enough to show the logic. And I used radio buttons because I didn't want to have to add a ...

Actually, I have a question - why use checkboxes for this? Wouldn't radio buttons be easier to deal with, since only one option for each category should be selected?

Thanks for the explanation - I'll try to put together a sample later today.

Rules in a more readable format:

I can't upload the form, but the rules I have set look like this: High Impact checkbox: Rule: Low if Impact_High = TRUE or Impact_High = "1", set Impact_Low to FALSE Rule: Medium if Impact_High = TRUE or Impact_High = "1", set Impact_Medium to FALSE Emergency Urgency checkbox: Rule: Low if ...

Any chance I can see your form? You can attach it under the options tab in a reply - this should just be a matter of having two conditions on your formatting rule.... so I'm wondering if there is a difference between the defaults for your Urgency checkbox.... One way I debug these things is by separating out the conditions and then instead of ...

I'm creating a "Priority Matrix" for a form, and I am using Buttons that say "X" to update the table (I don't know how to describe this in words). Basically, I need the button to appear when the "Priority: High" yes/no checkbox is checked AND "Urgency: Emergency" yes/no checkbox are checked, but ...

Do you mind attaching your form under the Options tab to a reply? Here's how I usually troubleshoot - I change the fill color to something different on every single thing (I was literally just doing this on a form) and then I can see what the culprit is. Sometimes it isn't the table row I think, or it is a section and not a row - in my ...
