I am not sure if this is possible - but here is my question. I am using Adobe Acrobat 5 - I have 2 fields. One is called Grade and the other is called Rate. I want to check the value of the Grade field and if the value is 10 then I want to allow a range of 10.00 to 19.99 in the field of Rate. If the value is 20 then I want to allow a range of 20.00 to 29.99 in the field of Rate, etc... I know this will need to be a custom validation script, but do not know how to code it. Does anyone know how I could accomplish this? Thank you in advance.

Shawn

You're code should be something like this:

// First get the value from the Grade fieldvar nGrade = this.getField("Grade").value; // Now do the validation.if(nGrade == 10)event.rc = (event.value >= 10) && (event.value <20);else if(nGrade == 20)event.rc = (event.value >= 20) && (event.value <30);
