I have a form with 20 Combo Boxes in it organized vertically. my goal here is to have only 1 combo box appear on load and not have the second one appear until there is a value selected in the first one. and so on for the third, and fourth, and fifth, etc. these combo boxes are placed within a tagged page in the form and eventually i would like to have a command button in this tabbed page to move the selected to other text boxes in the same form, but that is a different question entirely. if anyone could help me with this whole visible/not visible problem, i would appreciate it. thanks.
