Interesting Validation

[bankofbermuda]

I have a field call IDENTIFICATION ON FILE, EXPIRED and another called EXPIRY DATE.

IDENTIFICATION ON FILE is a text field formated to hold a radio button with options Yes/No.

EXPIRY DATE is a date fields.

EXPIRED is a calculation = if Expiry Date is > Today then "Expired"

What I would like to do is have the IDENTIFICATION ON FILE field automatically changed from Yes to No when the EXPIRED field contains the value "Expired"

Any ideas on how to accomplish this??

One way is to create a script that shows all records, then checks each one and resets the ID... field if necessary, then set document preferences to run the script on opening the file.

HTH,

Make the IDENTIFICATION ON FILE field a calculation field:

If (PatternCount (EXPIRED, "expired) = 1, "Yes", "No")

No need for scripts.
