Help With Get(ActiveFieldName)

Tanner
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

Please help, I am trying to make a calculation that just returns the name of the current field selected and it is not working. I made a calculation field that has this in it, Get(ActiveFieldName). When I have field selected nothing shows in my calculation field though. does anyone know what is going on? I have made the calculation field as both a normal calculation and as a global field.

This is a Get function that only works properly when used in a script or in one of Ugo's crazy auto-enter calcs.

Oh, I see. Thank you for the quick reply. Do you know of any calculation that I can use that will basically let me know if a field is selected?

BTW, JayTee...

TrackModifiedField (autoenter replace value) =

LeftWords(Case(text1 & text2 & text3&...& daten;

Get ( ActiveFieldName );Get ( ActiveFieldName ))& TrackModifiedField;1)

I rest my case. wink.gif

Tanner, sorry, no. I believe you would have to use a script for such a thing.

Oooh. One post above Ugo! tongue.gif
