March 27, 200322 yr Is there a way to "Lock" a field and not allow entry unless conditions are met.. For example. I have a layout with check boxes and a dropdown menu next to them. I only want the dropdown menu available if certain checkboxes are checked... thanks
March 27, 200322 yr Sure. Just go to Field Format and turn off "allow entry into field." Then define the field as a button, and attach a script: If [checkbox = 1] ..Go to field [theField] Else ..Show message ["Go away!"] End If Another method is to create a one-line portal that is a self-join related by the checkbox. Any objects in the portal will be invisible until the checkbox is checked. Cool technique, but tricky to set up, especially with multiple checkboxes.
