Help with scripting and calculation...

[garrettks]

There are two things I would like to do..

1) I have a list of 20 Yes/No Radio buttons (textfield1, textfield2, textfield3, etc), next to each I have a list of corresponding Notes fields (notefield1, notefield2, notefield3, etc). If you click

I think I understand, although there HAS to be an easier interface!

1) Attach a button to your text entry field. When you click on the field (you won't be able to tab in, you must take the field out of the tab order for this to work), run the following script:

Script 1:

Set Field(textfield1, "Yes")

Go to Field (Notesfield1)

Paste a clear button over the "No" option on textfield1, attach the following script:

Script 1a:

Set Field(textfield1, "No")

Go to Field (Notesfield2)

To do the last part, textfield2 needs to be a calculation field. To both check "Yes" if an entry is made in Notesfield2 and allow textfield2 to be manually changed, you will need a hidden textfield2 entry field and toggle it with scripts attached to clear buttons covering the Yes and No selections on the calculated textfield2.

2) Radio buttons are just one display option for a text field, to set a bunch of your fields to "No" under script control, use:

Set Field(textfield1, "No")

Set Field(textfield2, "No")

Set Field(textfield3, "No")

.

.

.

Set Field(textfield20, "No")

If you make the text fields calculated field, set the corresponding textfield entry fields to "No".

Sorry the answer is so confusing, so is the question!
