March 24, 200520 yr I didn't get any responses to my previous post to correct this, so maybe someone could help me create one from the ground up. Have 6 phone number fields. I have 6 corresponding Priority fields. If I have, for example, Mobile Phone set to 1, and my client says I should call them on the home phone, I want to set the Home Phone Priority to one, and have all of the other priority fields update. Mobile would become 2 in this case, and the rest of the priority fields would adjust accordingly. So if Home Phone was 3, whatever was 2 previously would become 3, and the last 3 fields wouldn
April 8, 200520 yr Author I haven't figured out a solution to this. I know somebody out there has to have an idea that may help. PLEASE!
April 8, 200520 yr Why not use a portal for these phone numbers? You could have a Priority field in the portal row, and sort by that.
April 8, 200520 yr IMHO, a calculation cannot work here. For simplicity, let's consider two priority fields only, Home and Work. Home is supposed to change to 2, when user inputs 1 into Work, and conversely, Work is supposed to change to 2, when user inputs 1 into Home. This is circular dependency. This can be achieved by scripting the process - where the script can be told which field triggered the process.
April 11, 200520 yr I played with this the other day a bit, and I agree, I don't think its possible to do this in a Calculation. You'll most likely have to run a script.
May 8, 200520 yr Author Thanks for the tips guys! I've almsot got it worked out. I'm unsure of how to make it work for all the fields. It works for some of the fields perfectly, others don't. It has to do with the order the function looks at the field in. If you have any other ideas, I'm open to attempting anything! Thanks again!
