Hi JBaker,

If you just want to suppress the bullet list for a single dropdown selection, simply change the '=' in the field code to '<>'.

However, you seem to be suggesting the user might want to be able to vary the number of bullets independently of the dropdown selection. That would require a macro but, unless you're contemplating having more formfields attached to them, I don't see what the point would be, as the content of each bullet point would be uneditable. The alternative is to insert a Section break below the dropdown and, when you apply the forms protection, leave that Section unprotected. That way, the user could input whatever they like into the unprotected Section, bullet points and all.
