how to insert fields based on qty needed?

[ehd]

I am trying to make a feature that asks for number of colors to be used and then changes layout or insertion fields to require that that many fields be filled out? e.g. if I say it is a 4 color print, I want it to ask what the 4 colors are but am stuck trying to make variable # of fields display- I have a max # that can be filled out and could just have ability to enter necessary # but that seems so... inelegant. Any advice is appreciated-

thx

You can't display fields dynamically. And even if you could, users may decide not to enter data in them.

What you need is either:

- to use validation on your fields (through a complex calc that depends on the "# of colors" input field

- or use tight navigation scripting where you don't let the user take any other action until all the necessary fields are populated.

Option 2 is more work but offers the most flexibility.
