Everybody was a newbie once and can always be a newbie to something new Tracy, no worries.

When I do what you say you are doing it works on my end:

New record:

Saved, closed, then opened in edit and Field 2 "No" changed to "Yes":

Becomes read only when Field 1 "No" changed to "Yes":

This doesn't work unless this box is checked in your form rule:

I tried this and I don't get the "fire" checkbox, however it automatically makes it read only if "yes".

  The "fire" option is only available on change actions.
  
  You are also applying the "make editable" action to the same field in the condition. Notice in the example given that "When Field 1 is equal to No, make editable Field 2".
  
  The action applies to a different field than what is in the condition.
