On my main form I have a field users must select from a droplist. Depending on what they select I have different subforms with questions that become present. The main form triggers the event from a "On Exit" so my problem comes into play once the user has completed and saved this form and they reopen it the completed subform is not visible. I understand its because no "exit" took place upon opening the saved form, but how should I handle?

Put your code in the initialize or docReady event of your object.

But when I do that my subform is not visible when I select from the item from droplist that should make my subform visible.

Is the code in the Exit and docReady events?

yes

Are you using the Action Builder? How did you get it to work on Exit before?

I am using javascript (below) which works perfectly until the form is saved with data and reopened not displaying those data fields because I am not “re-triggering” because there is no exist taking place upon just opening a completed form

Button1.Parent.STPA.Note_Type::exit - (JavaScript, client)

if (this.rawValue=="Tax Anticipation")

Sub_PropertyTax.presence="visible"

else

Sub_PropertyTax.presence="invisible";

if (this.rawValue=="Tax Anticipation")

Tax_Set_Aside.presence="visible"

else

Tax_Set_Aside.presence="invisible";

if (this.rawValue=="Revenue Anticipation")

Sub_Revenue.presence="visible"

else

Sub_Revenue.presence="invisible";

Hmm, I'd have to see the form. If that code is in the exit AND docReady event of Button1.Parent.STPA.Note_Type and it works on exit then it should work on form startup.

If you want, you can post it here so I can have a look.

I have it in the exit AND docReady event of Button1.Parent.STPA.Note_Type however when the completed form gets opened the subform remains set to invisible
