Display form field text box conditionally

L

le_s

Hi.
I have a form in which the user answers questions, using a dropdown form
field, with choices of "Confirmed" or "Not Confirmed". If the user selects
"Not Confirmed", I want to display a question asking them to explain why. I
know I can display the text of this question ("Why not?") using an If field.
But how do I make a text field that will allow the user to answer this
question? I only want to display this new text field if the answer to the
first question is "Not Confirmed".

Is this possible? Is there a different way to do this? I can do it with a
macro, but I don't want the user to see a macro, so no VBA solutions, please.

Thanks!
Elliot

In that case, you're not going to be able to solve your problem. Any possible
resolution would require VBA as what you want to do is not possible using only
fields.
