Hello everyone,
I am sure that I am asking a much repeated question so please forgive my ignorance.
I have created a form that contains questions in sections and each section has radio buttons. However not all the sections will be relevant to each person who fills in the form so I would like to add a check box at the top of each section that when ticked will disable the radio buttons in that particular section. I have tried all sorts but to no avail.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to how I may be able to achieve this?
Here is a tutorial from the AUC Learning Center on disabling or greying-out form fields-

You don't say if you created your form in Acrobat or LiveCycle Designer. If you are using LiveCycle Designer you can actually have areas of the form be completely invisible to the user unless certain selections are made. If that is what you want to accomplish, there are some good on-demand e-seminars on creating forms and scripting for LiveCycle Designer in the Learning Center that go over the specifics of making those dynamic features work.
Hope this helps,
