Default Text Box - Can A value in one generate more?


Hello all,

Good morning eveyone i hope you all are well today. I have a question
regarding text boxes. Lets say i have a form, and on my form is a text
box. This text box controls other text boxes on the form, and heres
how. I'd like for the Main text box to be a field for a number, and
after that number is entered, i'd like it to create more text boxes
that are equivalent to the NUMBER OF BOXES input in the main box.

Here's an example.

Main text box: Input the number of boxes you'd like to generate.
I input the number 15 and hit enter.
Now 15 more text boxes are generated on the form.

Make sense? If there is a way to do this please inform me of it.
Thank you

Dynamically generating controls like that is problematic at best.

If you can set a maximum number of text boxes, put them all on the form, and
make them visible or invisible as necessary.
