How can I make certain fields required if a certain other field is filled in but
*not* required if the certain other field is *not* filled in?

You have to use javascript to do that! inn your html
like:
<script>
function dataCheck(form) {
if (form.first_name.value=="") {
alert ("Please enter your first name.")
return (false)
}
</script>
put the code between the <head> tags </head>
and make a form with fields and use the same code as above to validate entries!
first_name is a field for example, see below:
<input NAME="first_name" TYPE="text" SIZE="20" MAXLENGTH="40">
good luck!

I don't have a specific thread reference to quote, but if you search on "required" in either the DBMan forums or the FAQ noted below, I know a solution has been posted.
