I have these 2 textbox which I have set as /required = false but the two could not be left blank. I need atleast one of them to be answered. Can you help me on how to trap this? Response is very much appreciated.

<textbox zipcode1>

/ caption = "From birth to age 10, where did you live the longest? Please enter the five digit ZIP code."

/ mask = uszipcode

/ required = false

</textbox>

<textbox city_state>

/ caption = "If you do not remember the ZIP code of the place you lived the longest from birth to age 10, please enter the name of the city and state of the place you lived the longest from birth to age 10."

/ required = false

</textbox>

And by the way, is it possible to change question number format from "4)." to something like "4." or "4)"?

Thank you!

If the two questions are located on the same page, this isn't possible. You would have to put them on different pages, set the 1st question to required=false and have the 2nd question's required property depend on whether the 1st question was answered or not.

Turn of automatic question numbering and manually include the numbers in a question's caption.
