How to validate a field based on selection from drop down list

[marelcooper]

I have created a drop down list with 10 selections in it. Based on selection of that drop down list a different drop down list opens. How would I set validation for min and max dollar amount based on choice.

Thanks M

If it's a drop-down field, why validate it? Just set it to only show the acceptable values...

[marelcooper]

The min and max of the field could change based on the answer from drop down list.

Is the other field a drop-down as well, or is it a text field?

[marelcooper]

It is a text field.

Ah OK, I understood it was a drop-down field...

Well, assuming this file is going to be used in Reader then you can't change the validation script associated with the field.

What you can do is write a script that takes the value of the drop-down into consideration.

So if the drop-down equals A then the script will allow values 1 to 5, if B then 1-10 and if C then values 11-20, for example.

Thanks try67. My head is going in circles right now. I will try and write a script to control min and max. Will let you know what I figure out.

Thanks for your help.
