Pre-fill a text field based on drop down menu selection

Greetings everyone!

 

I've been tasked with creating a fillable form my workplace, and unfortunately, LiveCycle (honestly, coding / scripting in general) is not my strong suit.

 

This forum has been a huge asset already, with previous suggestions being of great help.  However, I think I've gotten as far as I can without asking for some assistance.

 

My form already has drop down menus that are populated dependent upon selections made from a prior drop down menu.  I'm trying to find the option to attach a file to use as an example, but until I do (or until I edit in a link) I'll try a quick description.  The form is regarding Alarm System information, and the current fields I have pertain to Manufacturers and Models of alarm systems.  A quick comparison would be cars.  Selecting "Honda" in the first drop down would populate the second drop down with "Accord, Element, etc." as individual options.

 

What I've been tasked with adding now is Emergency Authority information for each area.  This means that the first drop down would be the type of authority (Fire, Police, etc.), the second drop down would be populated by cities based on the first choice, and the third will (hopefully) be a text field pre filled with the phone number.

 

Okay, I still can't figure out how to attach or upload a file here, so I've uploaded it to dropbox:

(You'll need to click the "Add" button button next to "Authority Numbers" to expand the area).

 

I had come across this (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1334821#1334821) as a potential solution, but I can't seem to figure out how to implement it correctly.

 

If anyone is able to give me some guidance, I'd really appreciate it!

 

- Dave
