how to make automatic show field?

beeranger · Sep 27, 2002

I am trying to create form in Domino Designer using Formula.
I'm very weak in programming, I think I am running in the wrong direction.
I have a form with 2 fields. Field A, B.
If I fill field A (which is the text) , I want the text in field A will automatic show in field B too.
what should I do?
Hope this was descriptive enough and that someone can point me in the right direction.
Thank you very much.

set the default value of field B to the name of field A. That should do it! Leslie

SELECT * FROM USERS WHERE CLUE > 0
No Rows Returned

Actually, if you set the Default formula in field B to the name of field A, the doc will load, field B will look into field A and find nothing, and field B will then remain empty.

If you wish to have field B receive the value of field A, you need to set the Translation formula of field B to the name of field A. That way, when you input data into field A and then refresh the doc (with F9), field B's translation formula will go look for the value of field A and store it.

If you work with a Computed field, or a Computed for Display field, you only have one formula anyway, so you can't go wrong.

Also, you should really look into the Developer's Handbook, there are good explanations to get you started there.

Have fun !
