Hi, Kenn

Not necessarily.  I believe you need to "get" oFromSelect, assuming
"oFormSelect" is the name of your list field.

As far as defining all 83 values, you can probably let the list box
handle that as each selection's export value.

I noticed you have still not "defined" dmm1, dmm2, and dmm3, either.
You may have to "get" them first, too (this.getField())

One other thing I noticed, the variable "selection" is defined as a
literal string with spaces and the logical AND (&&).  So if I read your
script correctly, you will be assigning exactly "dmm1 && ." to each of
the three possible selections.  I think what you mean to say is

selection = dmm1 + ".";

This will assign the current value of dmm1 (which you still have to
define, BTW) and add a period to it.


If I may make a suggestion, perhaps it would be good for you to use
"pseudo logic" to map out your code first, then replace the pseudo code
with real JavaScript.  For example, first map out what you want your
script to do.

get list field
get first text field
get second text field
get third text field

Loop through selections

if selection is selected
if first field is empty
enter selection into first field
else if first field is full but second field is empty
enter selection into second field
else if first and second fields are full but third is empty
enter selection into third field
else display error message


Now you can replace the above "pseudo code" with actual JavaScript.  I
find this very helpful, personally, in keeping the "big picture" clear
throughout the coding process.

Does this help or is it more confusing?
