    Ok let me try and explain what I'm trying to do.

    I want to create a form that people will fill out with contact information (duh). The part I cannot figure out is this:

    The person pick specific indications they are interested in like Type II Diabetes, Hypertension, etc.. but this possible list can be quite LARGE. So we break it down by a categories like Heart Disease, Diabetes. I want them to choose Diabetes then it show all the sub options for Diabetes. They also might want to choose two indications from different main categories like Type II in Diabetes and Hypertension in Heart Disease. It would be nice if they could choose one main cat and it display the sub-options then choose another main cat and have another list appear (replacing the first).

    Did I mention I also want it to update to different list depending on their choices to my constant contact database. :)

    Hope all this made sense (and is doable). ... Thanks in advance.

    It sounds do-able, you need to use conditional logic to decide what is going to appear and why. I suggest you draw a flow chart of how you would like the form to work and then set about building your form from that. Conditional logic is quite simple when you get the hang of it. The fields you want will be hidden until the visitor clicks the required list. Then you can choose to display the required field.

    Yes, it's possible. The sub-options you want to show or hide would have to be their own Checkbox fields.

    You can show/hide a field using Conditional Logic. It is available when editing a field and selecting the Advanced Tab. You can then enable Conditional Logic and choose to show (or hide) that field based on a previous selection.

    So you would add a Checkbox field that lists all the high level conditions. Then you would add individual Checkbox fields for each of those conditions that you want to show sub-items for. You would then use Conditional Logic to show or hide those fields.
