When creating a form in LiveCycle is there a way to have a message box pop up to help with the fill in of the form?

Hi!

Sure there is the way. Just look in help for "messageBox scripting method".

To display a message box when the form would be opened just fill in "form:ready" event of "form1" object with the following code:
xfa.host.messageBox("Your text";"Some title")

Regards, Andrey

Noup, there is no special settings for this.
Just open script tab, select form:ready event (or any other you need, depends on use context) in dropdown list.
Then language you need (FormCalc by default) and then write script above.
