hi - i hope i'm in the right forum?

i was wondering whether the scroll bar in one field can be made to scroll an adjacent field as well?

the scrolling field is a very long "transcription field" and the adjacent field is a "visual log" field which describes what is happening in that particular section of the transcription.

so can the visual log field be made to scroll in synchronization with the transcription field? and is this an ez thing for a newbie like me to perform?

the reason i have both fields seperated is because both fields need to be independent of each other.

thanks in advance!

Hi,

I won't know about scrolling in se, but you can simulate this for sure with a fake scroll with buttons and 2 calculated fields (or globals), in which you'd get the content of the desired "parsed" data, based on the occurrence of "parameter(s)" in both fields.

Middle(gScroll & YourText & gScroll;

Position(gScroll & YourText & gScroll;gParameter;1;gScrol)

+Length(gScrol);

Position(gScroll & YourText & gScroll;gParameter;1;gScrol+1)

-

Position(gScroll & YourText & gScroll;gParameter;1;gScrol)

-Length(gScrol)))

With gParameter being your "separator" and gScrol a global num you'd use to go down or up in the transcrition.

You may have separated parameters for those fields, but they would "scoll" accordingly based on the occurrence of each.
