This type of interface is not native to Filemaker (reveal, etc). There is a technique called the invisibility trick ( See this thread) , but perhaps you can just change your interface a bit.

Can you explain in more detail what the radio button is for and what the edit box is for?

[johnwiliams]

suppose i have radio button which contains the value yes and no.

when we select yes it will show edit box which contain a text value and when we select no. then it will not show any edit box.

That's not much more detail, John, lol. I was trying to get the whole picture, so that I could help you with a possible interface design. Have a look at the link I referenced.

in this attachment there is a field roaming which is drop down .it contains two value ( yes and no).

what i want is that when i select "yes" then it will show roaming days options otherwise it will not be shown.

Have you looked at the thread I referenced?

[johnwiliams]

i have read this but can't understand how to do this.

Then you'll need to find a different approach. That is the only way to hide/show a field in FileMaker.

Perhaps if you ask questions about the technique, we can help you grasp it.

That is the only way to hide/show a field in FileMaker.

Is it?

Another option is to use tabs with named objects. Attach a script (as a button) to the field...set the field value and "Go to Object", the tab with the field on it. (Don't forget to use the OnLayoutLoad script trigger to go to the correct tab when navigating to this layout in the future)

If you are good with html code, you could also display the field via a Web Viewer and show/hide the field that way...as for me, I am not there yet.
