Thanks for responding so quickly!
I still dont get it. Your example doesnt clarify for me.
i dont see where im setting the specific fields up in your example.
Ill be more specific with question.
SELECT ROCKS
gravel
pebbles
bricks
SELECT COLOR (only if pebbles is selected for rocks)
tan
pink
blue
I think i get lost on this conditional:
2) conditional validation - Trigger = select list, Tagert = text box, if trigger os valid = Stop validation on tager
THIS SAYS IF THE SELECT LIST IS NOT EMPTY, THEN THE 2nd LIST SHOUDL NOT BE EMPTY EITHER?
