Auto-enter calc w/value list items not working

[Steven Cappiello]

Could someone tell me why this Auto-enter calc isn't working and tell me how to get my end result ?

the value list is working fine --- it's a dynamic value list that derives it's values from one

of the portals on the layout

I don't understand why the Auto-enter isn't working.

I've tried setting the field to be a calculation field and also as a text auto-enter field

but I can't seem to get ANY result from this:

Left(ValueListItems ( Get(FileName) ; "SCME" ); Length((ValueListItems ( Get(FileName) ; "SCME" )))-2)

I have it resulting in text.

It's a value-list of Apple-script style email addresses "[email protected]",

so I'm hoping my end result will look like this:

"[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"

Hi,

At first, make sure it is unstored.

[Ugo DI LUCA]

Left(ValueListItems ( Get(FileName) ; "SCME" ); Length((ValueListItems ( Get(FileName) ; "SCME" )))-2)

...

so I'm hoping my end result will look like this:

"[email protected]", "[email protected]", "[email protected]"

Hmm...not sure how you could get such a result with this calc BTW.

Could you exactly explain what you're looking for ?
