Thanks for your immediate response, Niall.

I tried to compare what Paul did with mine. Seem I did exactly the same thing except that my form Hierarchy looks messy whereas Paul's is very clean.

Does it matter? Here is the initiation statement in JavaScript for the dropdown and it give you a clue about my hierarchy:

TopmostSubform.Page1.Paragraph[1].DropDownList1::initialize - (JavaScript, client)

Should I clean my hierarchy to make it look more like Paul's? Right now I have many Paragraphs in Page1 (DropDownList1 and the buttons are on different Paragraphs) but I only have one subform which is the TopmostSubform. Any references for cleaning the Hierarchy?

Sorry for the trouble.

Super! It works beautifully. I used your second suggestion.

I do greatly appreciate your time and effort in helping this, Niall.

Hi JLee,

Geeez . . . I created the form more than a year ago, also new to LCD and Acrobat forms, and it's not something I do on a regular basis so the infrequency often requires I figure out what I previously did all over again. I pulled my hair out for weeks with this one, all trial and error. If I recall, what you're trying to do requires a hidden "real email" button, I've attached a page of instructions I got from the same message board that was a key to getting it to do what I wanted (email Options file attached)

.

I also often referenced two books, PDF forms Bible and Creating Dynamic Forms with Adobe LiveCycle Designer (the latter being most helpful and has a CD with Demo Files that you can dig through for comparison and script), several online articles and Adobe Designer Help, part of which I printed to keep in a  3-ring binder for reference. I've attached some of them along with my form so you can try to decipher the madness to my methods :).

Chapter 6 from Cheridan Smith's book also helpful:  http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/advanced_formdesign.htm l

Though not easy or direct, I hope some of this is helpful to you.

Hi Paul, would you send me the same sample script that you sent to Cathy? Here's my email.

Thank you,
Meg

Hi Niall, the form Paul posted wasn't editable; therfore I couldn't get the script. I'm new to this forum and I'm no expert. Could you direct me how to get the info I need from the pdf?

Thank you.

Gotcha! I have access to PC. Thanks for your help Niall.
