Newbies GBeastly Posted August 16, 2000 Newbies Share Posted August 16, 2000 I've been trying to define a date field that enters the current date conditionally when depending on data entered in a another field. I first tried a calculation field that would returned the date when the other data was entered, but each day it would retun the current date not the date the the dat was entered. I then tried a regular date field with an auto=enter function theat would do the same thing, the problem is instead of a blank null value, a question mark appears in the field and it can't be entered overwhen you enter data in the other field which defeats the purpose of the whole thing. Finaly I redefined it as a text field and that took care of the problem but ins't that silly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenB Posted August 21, 2000 Share Posted August 21, 2000 Have you tried attaching a script to the field. This way ONLY when you click on the field to change the data, the date changes. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaughan Posted August 23, 2000 Share Posted August 23, 2000 Or, use one field to auto-enter the creation date. Then use a calc field that displays the creation date if (whatever) else nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
