Link dropdown selection to text box
Hi
Is there any way of having the contents of a text box change depending on the selected option in a dropdown box? I want to have "father", "mother", "parents" in the dropdown. The chosen option would then amend a text box later in the document to say "he", "she" or "their". Thanks in advance Steve |

Steve,
To avoid having to run a macro to populate the text field you can set the dropdown to "calculate on exit" and then use an IF field to display the right pronoun: { IF { DropDown1 } ="father""his" }{ IF { DropDown1 } ="mother""her" } { IF { DropDown1 } ="parents""their" } All field code braces "{ }" are entered with CTRL+F9 On Apr 5, 6:58 am, "Cranky" wrote: Hi Is there any way of having the contents of a text box change depending on the selected option in a dropdown box?
