um,, i don't have that.is it possible with Acrobat with other ways?Use this code as the custom validation script of the drop-down field (make sure to tick the option to commit the selected value immediately, under Properties - Options):var captainField = this.getField("Captain");if (event.value == "Team1") { captainField.value = "Andy"; captainField.readonly = true;} else if (event.value == "Team2") { captainField.value = "Bob"; captainField.readonly = true;} else if (event.value == "Team3") { captainField.value = " "; captainField.readonly = false;}
