fill in multiple fields based on check box

(another newb questions...)

Like to fill in several form fields based on whether or not a checkbox is checked.

I have it working now using individual calculated scripts in the individual field. for example:

if (this.getField("checkbox").value=="Off") { 

    event.value = null; 

} else { 

    event.value = "ABCXYZ"; 

} 

However, it is possible to assign the value(s) just from the CheckBox field itself?

Yes, you can do it from the MouseUp event of the check-box field. It will look something like this:

if (event.target.value=="Off") {
    this.getField("Text1").value = "";
    this.getField("Text2").value = "":
} else {
    this.getField("Text1").value = "ABCXYZ";
    this.getField("Text2").value = "123456":
}
