If box checked then (this value) otherwise let me enter custom value

I have been searching all morning and haven't been able to properly execute anything I have found to help with my problem!

On my form, I have two text boxes: "Start Time" and "End Time".
I also have a checkbox for "All Day Access".
Basically, if you check the box for "All Day Access", I want "Start Time" to autofill to "8:00 AM" and "End Time" to autofill to "5:00 PM".

I was able to get that fine with the calculation scripts:

event.value=this.getField("Or All Day Access").value=="Off"?"":"5:00PM";

(and separately, in the calculation Script for "Start Time" field):

event.value=this.getField("Or All Day Access").value=="Off"?"":"8:00AM";

However, when the "All Day Access" box is unchecked, it won't let me enter custom text into the Start and End Time fields.

I know this has got to be an easy solution, I just can't find it!

Use this:

if (this.getField("Or All Day Access").value!="Off") event.value = "5:00PM";

Thank you very much!

When I uncheck "All Day Access" it still leaves "8:00 AM"/"5:00 PM" in the text fields, but I am able to edit them now. Is there a way to have those fields cleared/blank (so someone can type in a custom value) if "All Day Access" is not checked?

In order to do that you need to move the code to the Mouse Up event of the check-box field, and change it to:

this.getField("Or All Day Access").value = (event.value=="Off") ? "" : "5:00PM";
