hi there

i have a radio buttom with to options. I want to set it up such that clicking one of the options will add the current date into a seperate field, where as clicking the other will not. Im having trouble getting my head round how i should assemble the script.

can anyone help?

If you have the default value for the field (your radio buttons) than all you need is an script attached to it(after disallowing access to field) that state

Set Field [your field,Case(your field=value1,value1,value2)]

If[your field=value1]

Set Field [date field, some date]

end if

Otherwise if you don't provide the default value to your field than you should create to ovals place them above(underneath) circles of radio buttons field and attach the scripts (after disallowing access to field)

script for value 1

Set Field [your field, value1]

Set Field [date field, some date]

script for value 2

Set Field [your field, value2]
