I would like to make it so when a seclection is made from a drop down another
field appears that was not there, or visible, before. Is there a way to do
this?

Yes. Lets say your dropdown fieldcode bookmark name is dropdown1 and
that the values are "show" and "hide". Check the box "calculate on
exit" in the formfield dialog box. Insert a REF field embedded in an
IF field

{IF {Dropdown1}="Show""Show this text"""}

Ok, I think I get it. If what I wanted to show was another couple of field
boxes I would just do this?

{IF {Dropdown1}="Show" {Field1} {Field2}}

I suspect you want to include your two fields in quotation marks. I would
anyway.
