Mark,
I deleted all my form rules regarding my number of note lines to show.
I created a rule where If "1 note line" is checkmarked, Show note 1, Hide 2, 3, and 4.
That works great.
I created another rule where If "2 Note Lines" is check, Show 1 and 2, Hide 3 and 4. Thats where it breaks.
Because if I from this point Checkmark "2 note lines" it wont show #1 because of my first rule that says Show Note 1, "otherwise hide".
Due to the first rule having the part of "otherwise hide" if not true it breaks after the second rule.

Qrew LegendWhat can I say. You need to change your thinking.
You need to make a separate rule for each field that you want to show or hide, not what is in your head which is a rule per situation.
Please read my Coll Hand Luke again. :)
If you have a separate rule for each field then the rules can never conflict.

- They are 2 separate rules- but they are referencing and controlling the same fields.

------------------------------- MarkShnier__YouFor any field which is referenced in two rules, you will have to make a rule that only deals with that one field and remove the reference to that field in any other other rule.
Your mind is still thinking in terms of situations and you need to turn your thinking around to make a separate rule for each field where that field is involved in multiple situations.

------------------------------- I think I understand that. I cant have two rules reference the same field. But I need it to.
I need if 1- Show 1, Hide 2, 3,4
if 2, Show 1, 2, ,Hide,3,4
if 3, Show 1,2,3, Hide 4
if 4, Show 1,2,3,4
All 4 rules need to reference the same 4 fields and when and what to show.
