Veronica Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Field1 is a number field that could contain one of several values. Field2 is the auto-entry field by calculation using the "case" function. If a user enters a wrong value in field1 and exits the field but then goes back to change the value, field2 retains the original auto-entered value. I have tried including a value in the "case" statement to blank out field2 if field1 is empty. I have tried using an "If" statement before and after the "case" statement. No luck. Is there a way to get the auto-entry field(2) to change if the user re-enters the field1 to enter a different value?
-Queue- Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 An auto-entered calculation only evaluates one time in versions below 7. You either need a true calculation field (which cannot be modified as an auto-entered field can) or a lookup using a trigger field (modification time) to force a relookup every time the data in Field1 is modified.
Ugo DI LUCA Posted September 2, 2004 Posted September 2, 2004 And if you want both fields to have same values, even if field 2 is modified instead of field 1, you may try the double lookup trick. here
