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.

Questions similar to this one have been asked many times. Here is a search on this forum:

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
