Combo box that hides another field

Hi. In acrobat I would like to have a combo box--that when an element on the list appears another combo box will hide/visible. For example....my list would consist of softcover and hardcover. If softcover is chosen then another combo box would appear that would have my softcover options, while the hardcover would be hidden and the same would happen for hardcover--the softcover options would be hidden and the hard cover options would appear.

Can someone guide me in the right direction?

thanks,
sara

You can use the 'hidden' or 'display' property. But an even better approach would be to populate the second combo box from the selection of the first box using the 'setItems' method of the field object.
