calc on input in one field??

[creart]

Hi

is it possible to have my client fill in a complete formula (like 612 * 15) in a field so that FileMaker calculates it and put the result in that same field???

thx

Hans

FileMaker has no eval() function as of yet. However, if you have 5.5 or 6.0, you can create a calculation field using GetField, and have your users enter the variables into two separate fields. Something like GetField("field1") * GetField("field2") should work for you. Just put field1 and field2 on the layout, with the calculated result next to them.
