Another user? are your files being served? If so, how are you sharing them?

[H]

yes they are being served via a cloud server host

BTW, please stop being so cryptic in your posts.

The Title of your topic should give some indication of your question? Using a one word name like “Script” when your are posting to the Manage Scripts topic doesn’t HELP.

Your topic should indicate what the problem that you are asking!!! for help with.

Did you read this article that I linked in one of my PMs to you?  Anatomy of a Good Topic

conditional formatting

[H]

how would i create a formula for that?

[Fitch]

myfield = "something"

[H]

how would i script not is active

[Fitch]

hide object when -- no script needed

[H]

to clarify, it is a value list and i only want the active choice  to show, is what would i script?

[Lee Smith]

  Try this approach and see if that’s what you want.

 go to the options for the field and use an auto in our calculation as shown in my two attachments.

I'm suggesting that you use two objects:

1. The actual data entry field with dropdown

2. A copy of the field set to not allow entry in Browse mode (checkbox on the Data tab of the Inspector).

Never mind about conditional formatting. You can just format 2 as gray or whatever.

Use the "Hide object when" option on the Data tab of the Inspector.

The "hide" formula for 1 would be: not IsEmpty( Self )

The formula for 2 would be: IsEmpty( Self )

Stack one on top of the other. Done.
