I have 2 fields. LastName and Mailto. I want the Mailto field to automatically show &quot;Mr & Mrs&quot; [LastName]. This much I've done but I want the LastName part of the Mailto field to be editable. (As [LastName] part of the Mr & Mrs may be different from the LastName). Of course when I try to edit the LastName part of the Mailto field I can't cause it's bound to the expression.<br><br>Any ideas? Thanks
 
If I followed your question correctly, I would suggest using an unbound text box, fill it with the Mr & Mrs AnyName.<br><br>After it has been edited (after update or on exit, etc) pass the resulting value to the bound control.<br><br>HTH <p>Larry De Laruelle<br><a href=mailto:larry1de@yahoo.com>larry1de@yahoo.com</a><br><a href= > </a><br>
