action on return to page

Your variable name does not need to include the page name for it to work. It makes the readability of the project a bit better, though, especially if someone else may be looking at this in the future. Technically, you could get by just naming the variable "aaa," but that would not be very useful. 

From what you posted, I don't see a problem with what you have. So, without having seen your project, I'll throw out a few possible issues and see if any of them is your problem.

1. Is the text box set to be hidden? Make sure the box for Initially Visible is unchecked.


2. Are you giving enough time for the variable to be set? While 2 seconds sounds like a short time, it seems long when you're testing your project. Reduce the delay to 0.3 seconds, which is plenty of time for the computer.


3. Are both of these actions on the page level? It sounds like they are, but I just want to make sure.


4. Did you spell "True" the exact same way for setting the variable and for the condition in showing the text box? Instead of using "True" and "False," you could just assign 0 and 1 (which is programatically the same thing).

Also, let us know what exactly is happening when you do this. What isn't working? The box never shows up? The box always show up?
