Hi Everyone

I hope someone can help with the following:

I want to create a form that allows users to submit their vehicle details.

I would like this form to have the option for client to select mutiple check boxes and the value of those selected checkboxes is then added to a text box.

Eg.

The user selects the A/Con, P/Steering and Power Windows check boxes. This then populates the text field with the following:

A/Con, P/Steering, Power Windows

I hope this makes sense.

Thanks

Mick

Hi Cobra19722,

Yes it is possible to concantenate data from multiple field entries into one text field. Do you have experience with Acrobat JavaScript? A custom script is what is needed for this solution. Here is another thread on how to concantenate data from different fields- maybe you can alter this for your needs-

If you don't have experience with Acrobat JavaScript here are a couple tips on how to use code you find here and on the internet-

Thank you Dimitri. Unfortunately I don't have any experience with Javascript but I will will have a read of the examples you have given me. I am sure they will help.

Thanks again
