var a = this.getField("VIC_ORIGIN");

if (a.value == "test"){
getField("VIC_REL").readonly = false;
}
else {
getField("VIC_REL").readonly = true;
}

Whatever I select in "VIC_ORIGINE" triggers the "else" part of this logical test....What's wrong?

When focused on a field there is a difference in the values returned by this.getField("VIC_ORIGIN").value and the event.value. If you are dealing with the focused field, you need to use the 'event.value' object and property.

Event processing sequence is explained in the Acrobat JS API Reference.
