Thanks for your reply!

But sorry I don't fully understand you. You mean to set
the "text box" to be disenabled, correct?

It works if I set the text box to be disabled. But
everytime I click on somewhere else, for example other
checkboxes, the text box would automatically enable itself
even if there was STILL nothing in the combo box above it.

So potentially, a user can put nothing in the combo, and
click somewhere else, and then enter something in the text
box.....

how can i solve this? maybe by writing some code?

thanks a lot.
