Please help. I am new to this and looking for a code to populate a text box with info from another text box by clicking a checkbox, and clearing the text box when the checkbox is unchecked.

Thank you in advance.

In general, you'll need to Place some JavaScript code into the MouseUp Action on the checkbox.

Something like this.

if(event.target.isBoxChecked(0))

{// Checkbox is checked

this.getField("TargetField").value = this.getField("SourceField").value;

}

else

this.getField("TargetField").value = "";

You'll need to change the field names to match your form
