input form/view changed based on a selection

Forgive me for not expressing this well in the topic.

I have a table, with ten fields, [type] has A, B or C, and [field 1], [field 2].... [field 9]

I would like to create a form, that allows me to select [type] as a dropdown box

if I select A, then only [field 2] and [field 9] will show

and there will be supplementary notes accompanying [field 2] and [field 9] to guide people how to fill the two fields. (I don't know if I can make the changes of the field's label, or an extra label next to it, or a popup when you click a button, to give that guidance)

in effect, the form will change based on the initial selection 

thanks

First part...In each column you can supply an expression in the Show_If property to specify when a column is to be shown.  You can use, in the Show_If for column 2 and column 9 an expression such as:

[type] = "A"

Then just supply a similar expression for the other columns.

Second Part...each column also has a "Display" section  that allows you to specify different table view column headers, field labels and a Description property where you can present a Long Text form of instructions for the field input.
