Auto-Select Radio Button using Drop-Down Menu

[cuttysark]

Hi All

I am still a complete beginner, so I expect this is a fairly simple problem.

I have a drop-down menu with options "beef", "pork", "salad", "fruit"

and a radio button set with options "meat", "vegetarian".

If the user selects "beef" or "pork" from the drop-down menu, I'd like the radio button "meat" to be automatically selected. If they select "salad" or "fruit", I'd like the button to switch to "vegetarian".

Is this possible?

Thanks for your help and patience.

Hi Cuttysark,

Welcome to the FM Forums -)

I created a small application for you to look at. This is a trick that I made. I created a field to hold a temporary value and calculation value. You can look at it to better understand what I am saying.

Maybe, there will be more elegant way to do this. But for now, you can see if this works out for you.

Hope that helps...

That works great, thanks!

I don't think you could do it much more simply or elegantly - I just missed the fact that turning the radio button into a calculation would do the trick. Thanks again!
