I would like to use a combo box to show a hidden text box. When a user makes a selection in the drop down menu a text box will appear based on what value is selected in the list.

My Product Information:
Acrobat Pro 7.0.9, Windows

Hi dpottsii,

It is possible to do this with JavaScript. The following two articles at JavaScript Corner should help you out. One explains how to change another field with a dropdown box selection, and the other explains how to show and hide fields.
