How do I conditionally display a field in Infopath?

Question

Hi! I'm trying to do the following in infopath: I have to choose between 2 options (with bullets), and depending on this, if we choose Option1, I need to display a text field to enter more details, but if Option2 is chosen, I don't need this additional field.

I'm not sure about how to enter a Rule to define this :-(
Anyone could help?
Thx!

I'm afraid I don't currently have InfoPath installed, so I couldn't try it in order to give better instructions.

In InfoPath 2007, you can:

• Right click on any control
• Select Conditional Formatting
• Enter a condition that maps to option 2 being chosen
• Click "Hide this control" as the formatting to apply.

You probably want to put this and any descriptive field text inside a section; and hide / show it using the steps above.
