Form Calc If then statement help

[kevnaples]

I have a form that I am creating that has a dropdown menu (1-10 numbers) which I need to convert the selected number to a long text field on a different field.  The text fields are just too long to use on the dropdown menu.

if (dropdownlist=1) then

     (textfield1="some long text")

End if

What is the correct format for the formCalc script to use?  I am assuming that I can repeat the number to text conversion script.

Thanks

Hi,

The syntax would be:

if (dropdown eq "1") then
     textfield = "some long text"
elseif (dropdown eq "2") then
     textfield = "some other long text"
endif

This is on the basis that the dropdown items are just numbers, 1, 2, etc.

Hope that helps,

Niall

Choose(dropdown, "some long text", "some other long text")
