Radio Button if ( ) then selection

Greetings:

There are two people. Let's call them "husband" and "wife."

Husband and wife could be petitioner or respondent.

I'm trying to create a calculation to determine whether husband or wife is petitioner or respondent.

It's easy enough to use a conditional (for the petitioner value)

if (DropDownList = "husband") then

$=HusbandFullName

else

$=WifeFullName

endif

But, I think it is easier for the user to have two radio buttons so they show the options, one labelled "Husband" and the other "Wife."

I have created (formcalc, client, calculate) with a husband radio button  and a wife radio button in the same sub form set.

if (PetitionerRB.HusbandRB == "1") then

$= HusbandFullName

else

$=WifeFullName

endif

and this sets the husband or the wife to petitioner.

However, I am having trouble setting the respondent. When I create this for the wife radio button, I do not get a value.

To set wife as the petitioner:

if (PetitionerRB.WifeRB == "1") then

$= WifeFullName

else

$=HusbandFullName

endif

In fact, changing "1" to "2" also does not work.

I'm obviously missing something about radio buttons in a sub form. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

Try the code on Radio button group on click event. Hope its should work.

For example:

if (PetitionerRB.HusbandRB == "1") then

$= HusbandFullName

else

$=WifeFullName

endif
