Hello, first i would like to say i appreciate a forum like this being created for the sake of collaboration and help with MS Office products!



Secondly, Now for my problem:
I'm simply trying to create a word 2010 form that contains multiple drop down boxes for a user to select from and then have details on that selection dynamically included on a separate row.

Example (basic):
Dropdown1
Region {North, South, East, West}

If North is selected, WI shows up on the second line
If South is selected, ATL shows up on the second line
If East is selected, NY shows up on the second line
If West is selected, CA shows up on the second line

I need more than one drop down list on the form which will have a separate row that shows details on that selection.

If you need more information, please let me know and any information would be greatly appreciated.

I don't have any VBA experience but am not afraid of messing around with some code.

I reviewed the following link: http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j...51773540,d.b2I

But didn't exactly work for me since i needed multiple dropdowns on the form.

Thanks,
adunbar

See Repeating Data (Populating Multiple Like Fields).

Hey Charles, thanks a lot for the quick reply; however, this isn't exactly what i'm looking for. I'm not trying to repeat data but dynamically change the value of a field based upon the selection of another field. From what i read in the link, it will only replace a word or phrase with another one. I'm trying to have a drop down list of items and based upon the selection, row 2 will show details on that selection.

For that you would want to use an IF field.
Field codes in Word - Word - Office.com The criterion field is marked as a bookmark (automatic with legacy form fields). You then check the value of the field by comparing it to something else.
