Thanks for your rant. I feel exactly the same way, like 50% of the time when creating forms. I usually enliven my rants with curse words and flying objects, so I can't reproduce them in this forum and I am happy you finally vented for me.

Well, yes, that helped a lot.You gave me the low-down, "enabling for dummies" version, which is just what I need. The attachement is particularly informative.Thanks for taking the time to explain that to me.Regards,Jenny

I know Adobe Reader tells us that we cannot save information typed into a form, but I want to do that anyway. You guys are smart, so I am betting you know a clever way to circumvent this "no saving" obstacle.  BTW, my end users are public school teachers, so they will only be using the free Adobe Re...

Hi Farah,Sorry it has taken me a while to get back to you--holiday stuff going on.You won't see the hidden subforms (TAKSsubjects, SpanishTAKSsubjects, etc) on the form itself because their visibility is set to "Hidden(Exclude from layout). You should see them on the Hierarchy palette on the left th...

I don't mind at all--in fact, I really appreciate your being able to use that form because now I have learned a very valuable technique too!  Thanks again, and good luck with that medical form--looks pretty fun to build!Jenny

Very cool solution, thanks!  I always learn so much from you.

Thanks! I changed the "hidden" property to "invisible" as Paul suggested and that works too. So weird...
