Question

Answer 1

Assuming your DropDown is called Combo1 and on the same form you have a textbox called Text1 and the value of “Others” is also “others”. Then you just need to code the Combo1’s Change event like so

Private Sub Combo1_Change()

        Me.Text1.Visible = (Me.Combo1.Value = "others")        

End Sub
