Is it possible to display field contents in a custom dialog statement.

I thought you could format your text like the insert:merger field command

heres all i want to do

"<<Table_Name::FistNameLastNameCombo>> has been logged in at <<Table_Name::TimeIn>>."

this is part of a script i have attached to a login in button that just records the current time in the TimeIn field.

this line only displays exactly what you see there

You need to follow the correct syntax for a text calculation. Select SPECIFY and select your fields to combine by double-clicking them (or type them directly) thus:

Table_Name::FistNameLastNameCombo & " has been logged in at " & Table_Name::TimeIn & "."

Remove the merge tags around the field names. All text should be surrounded by quotes and table/field names are simply selected and inserted (or double-clicked to insert).
