Problem with hiding a control

Question

I have a drop down list box populated by a lookup to a list that currently contains two items. I have an option button control (2 option buttons) that I would like to hide when the dropdown list box selection is equal to the text I specify. When I try this via conditional formatting, my 'Hide Control' checkbox is greyed out. The only thing I can do is select the 'Disable this control' checkbox. Is there some other setting that I need to make to enable the Hide Control checkbox?

Answer 1

Must not be allowed.  Try putting them in a section, then put the conditional formatting on the section to hide/show based on the pulldown selection.

Thanks for the tip about the section idea. That worked! The option button control is listed as 'hideable' by the online help topic at http://office.microsoft.com/client/helppreview.aspx?AssetID=HP100340241033&QueryID=IDPGSkVtn0&respos=1&rt=2&ns=INFOPATH&lcid=1033&pid=CH100598351033 . So go figure - I'll deal with my form by utilizing section hide. Thanks again
