is there nothing else in that code to verify that the text box only shows up when the option "observation" is selected?

if me!combobox="observation" then
 Me!TextboxName.Visible = True
else
 Me!TextboxName.Visible = false
end if

You may want to also run this in the onCurrent of the form, as otherwise a new record will always be set to the visibility of the last record you were on.

And the oneliner version:

Me!TextboxName.Visible = (Me!ComboBoxName = "observation")
