Combo box validations

[Tezdread]

Hi all,

Would you be able to help with a problem I have setting up validation rules on combo boxes?

I want to set up the form so that if an option is selected from a combo box the user will have to fill out another field or if a different option is selected from the same combo box they will have to do something else and if nothing is selected then they wont be able to move on to the next field until they choose an option...

I've tried using normal validation rules but they don't work in this way (or not the way I'm doing it?)

Thanks in advance

I'm certainly no expert, but wouldn't an option button work better here? Then you could use the on click property to bring up the specific form for the button.

Thanks for your suggestion, it would work easier I think but due to design restrictions it needs to remain as a combo.
