Hello,

I have a check box that when selected i want a hidden field to show and this hidden field is not editable and has a pre-filled value.

If they deselect the check box the field gets hidden again.

If i set the text field to be read only and hidden with the default value in it. It doesn't show when the checkbox is checked.

Anyway what i need to know how to do is a show hide the hidden read only field consistently.

I hope this makes sense
thank you.

Have you looked at Thom Parker's article [url=http://www.acrobatusers.com/tutorials/2006/show_hide_fields]Hiding and Showing Form Fields[/url]?

You will have to create the field as 'readonly' and set the optional 'default' value.
