 Is there any way to create a Hyperlink from the Encoded Absolute URL? Instead of a long, ugly link like this http://www.www.www.com/Colorado%20Tax%20Reports/Colorado%20Tax%20Reports%20no.%20655,%204-10-2019.pdf I'd like to have the link like this" Click here to open the ...

Sure. You just need to store the approver info in the main data source of the form - don't display it on the form - and then you can add form load rules to check the approver.

Sorry for the late response. Thanks for the template i'm gonna try it out in my form :)

I'm happy to help you with this - what would be simplest for me would be if you could attach the template under the Options tab in a reply and the I can help you directly with the rules.

Hmmmm - since the fields are required based on the form version, I'd probably actually leverage the form version number to determine them and to determine which controls to show - you could use a string comparison with a function to return the form version.... ...
