I have a form field dropdown box that has two options. I need to put an If
statement after it that should read something like "If Box=Applies "more
text" else blank." So the following text will either appear or remain blank.

I can't figure out how to reference a field form entry in the If function or
if this is even possible. Please help.

Hi That70sHeidi,

Your IF field's construction should be:
{IF{REF Dropdown1}= "Applies" "Additional text"}
To get the correct 'name' to use for 'Dropdown1', right-click on the formfield and check its bookmark name. While you're there, make
sure the 'calculate on exit' option is checked.

Note: The field brace pairs (ie '{ }') for the above example are created via Ctrl-F9 - you can't simply type them or copy & paste
them from this message.
