How do I conditionally display a field in Infopath?

Layla picture Layla · Sep 28, 2008 · Viewed 38k times · Source

I'm trying to do the following in infopath: I have to choose between 2 options (with bullets), and depending on this, if we choose Option1, I need to display a text field to enter more details, but if Option2 is chosen, I don't need this additional field.

I'm not sure about how to enter a Rule to define this :-(
Anyone could help?
Thx!

In 2010, you do this with 'Rules' (changed from 2007). Open the Home tab in the ribbon, open Manage Rules from there. Then select your control, and add / edit rules in the rules pane for each control to achieve what you're trying to do.
