Data Entry Form Changes Dependent On Drop Down

[serviceenvoy]

I need to create a data entry form that changes what fields are
displayed, required, and auto-filled based on a drop down combo box.
How do I do that?

For example:
If I select "Client1" in the drop down I will need fields a, b, & c to
display
If I select "Client2" in the drop down, I will only need fields a & b.
If I select "Client3" from the drop down, I will need fields a,b,c,d,
& e.

Please help.

Put logic in the combo box's AfterUpdate event:

Private Sub MyCombo_AfterUpdate

Select Case Me!MyCombo
Case "Client 1"
Me!FieldA.Visible = True
Me!FieldB.Visible = True
Me!FieldC.Visible = True
Me!FieldD.Visible = False
Me!FieldE.Visible = False
Case "Client 2"
Me!FieldA.Visible = True
Me!FieldB.Visible = True
Me!FieldC.Visible = False
Me!FieldD.Visible = False
Me!FieldE.Visible = False
Case "Client 3"
Me!FieldA.Visible = True
Me!FieldB.Visible = True
Me!FieldC.Visible = True
Me!FieldD.Visible = True
Me!FieldE.Visible = True
Case Else
' What happens for the other selections?
End Select

End Sub

Thanks for that. Now, I have a field in that needs to have a certain
value, depending on another field. If the "Client" field is "ClientA"
then field "Invoice" should be "Not Required". If, however, the
"Client" field is "ClientB" or "ClientC" the "Invoice" field should be
blank. How do I accomplish that?

if Client="ClientA" then
Invoice="Not required"
else
Invoice=" "
endif
