Fields On Top Of Fields?

[onlyu2]

Hi there,

I was reading an earlier post about having a fields display a calculation or being able to input your own figure. The answer involved placing one field on top of another.

Can anyone tell a newbie how to place on field on top of another and still be able to see through, or how that would work? Basically, I have a calculation field, with another field that if you type in it, the calc field will show that.

I'm just lost on how to organize the two fields. Thanks for your help!

What you do is place your field you can type into on the layout first. Then, place your calculation field on top of that. Make the fill colour white for the calculation and in field format turn off allow entry into field.

Then when you are in browse mode, if you click on the calculation field, because it doesn't allow entry will go to the field below it, namely your text field.

Then when you tab out or press enter the calculation will display.
