worked great. many thanks for your help.

Hi,I really like Stephen's solution here: Re: Password protect subforms It is simple, effective and does not involve a lot of scripting or getting caught in trusted function. I would recommend it. Niall

Hi,In the example, the updateNotice is a listbox. You could include a button which would clear the listbox. For example in the click event of this new button:updateNotice.rawValue = null; updateNotice.clearItems(); You would need to have a note, recommending that the list be cleared before amendments. Maybe the updateNotice object and button would only become visible after submission. Just a few thoughts,Niall

If you want to reset only sme fields in the entire form you need to pass the field name to the resetData method.But if you can have some thing common for all those 50 fields which you can use to go in a loop then that would be an option. Means, having the same name so you can loop through the name of the field and use index while passing the field name to resetData method. Or if they are all in one single section, group them together inside a subform and loop through the subform nodes.. etc..Hop...

The feature I mentioned earlier about ctrl + clicking a field is really handy, if you get that down at least you'll always know you have the correct path reference to the field.Glad you got it working

You can put in a link to another form but it would be very tough to do unless the attached form was posted on the internet somewhere. Where is the form you want to link to located?

Link this dropdown to the xml tag with the proper values. So that Option A has the associated cost as the value for this option and so on. In the exit event of the dropdown set the text box value with the selected value from Dropdown.TextBox1.rawValue = DropDown1.rawValue;ThanksSrini

The password field just masks user input with "****"s. If you're trying to password protect the form, you can do that under File >> Form Properties >> PDF Security.
