IF/THEN coding in FP03?

[datadame]

Working on a form customers will use to request maintenance work. I've got the interface built, and it's working as far as I can tell.

I'd like to refine it a little bit. Right now, the customer picks from a drop-down list of departments, and then tabs to the next field, a drop-down list where he selects the building, then a drop-down list where he selects the floor. (The room and other subsequent locators are free-text fields.)

Right now, all the choices are available in all the fields. What I'd rather have is a set up where the customer clicks, say, the Department "Finance", and then for the next field will only display those Buildings where Finance has space. Then, after he selects the building, the next field would only display the Floors in that building.

Back in the long-ago, I could've done this with COBOL or even Unix, but those days are just that - long-ago. ;) Still, in theory, this would be IF/THEN behavior, wouldn't it?

I'm game to tackle something new, and actually like using work time to learn new things, but in this case (1) time is of the essence and I don't have the luxury of a learning curve, and (2) other people besides me will have their hands in this. So the question is: Is there a way for FP03 to do this without my having to manually write and embed scripts, plug-ins, etc.?

Thanks!

I've seen 3rd party add-ons for FR that help you manipulate forms. One company had some form plug-ins that I tried out many years ago...J-Bots. You might want to look around at what's available today.

The things you want to do will most likely require JavaScript or some other tool to manipulate the forms depending on the input. FP itself doesn't contain any built-in wizard to do this for you.
