Calulation or Script Help

I am new to filemaker and have a most likely easy problem to solve. Although I cannot solve it.

I have a check box field. If the checkbox is selected I want a differnt text field in the layout to display a message. If the box is not checked I do not want a display.

I understand that the display would be default text insert in the text field.

ie. I have a slip that is being used for sick time and other events. When the sick time check box is checked on the form I want a text box on the footer of the form to have SICK TIME entered in it.

Should this be a script or a calculation with a text result?

How would I do it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Ed

Here's a file that may help. I'm sure there are much better answers from the more experienced folks, but it works.
