I have developed a form with fields hidden by default, that become visible based on box ticked or radio button selections.

My problem is that, when I close the form and re-open it, it comes back to it's default presentation, regardless of the information already recorded in the form (including in the now hidden fields.

How to correct that

Thanks in advance for any hint you can provide.

I've had the same problem. This solved it...

Go to the "Form properties..." in the File-menu. Select "Run-time" to the left and in the box "Scripting" Preserve scripting changes to form when saved: choose Automatically (Script-based state changes are saved locally in an insecure fashion. This option cannot be used for certified forms).

Hope it works for you to...
