I am building an access form and I would like to have some fields appear when
I select or enter a specific value in another field. For example, when I
select "Other" from a selection list, I would like an "Other Selection" field
to appear where I can enter the other information. Any suggestions on how I
can do this?
 
In the selection box, put an event in the after update that says if the box
contains "other" then make the "other selection" field visible.

You would also wnat to put this in the oncurrent ecvent so that it will use
the same logic as you scroll from one form to another.

My question would be what happens if the user changes it from "Other" to one
of the items in the list? Are you going to blank out the "Other Selection"
field, or just make it invisible?
