hi greg,

 

unfortunately form queued (a.k.a. caught in virus scanner) can't take look. witnessing in form commonly result of failing save form dynamic pdf (at least common me). if form not defined , saved dynamic pdf, instance manager or other methods of show/hiding objects not work.

 

which leads me this...i not sure of requirements, if need show/hide dropdown list, using subform , instance manager may overkill. can change presence property of dropdown make visible or invisible. attached sample performs follows:

 

 

 

when click button labelled 'show dropdown'....

 

 

the dropdown appears , caption on button changes 'hide dropdown'. toggle effect.
