Count up from field to field

[[email protected]]

hi,

I have two fields 'fld1', 'fld2'. Both fields are a popup menu and can contain one of the following the values:

0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

I have a third field that needs to contain the start value, all the values in between and then the end value.

ie if 'fld1'=2 and 'fld2'=6

then fld3= 2,3,4,5,6

(with or without commas)

I have tried to create a series of calculations, but I am stumped. Does anyone have a solution. It could be a script if it has to be, but it would be better as a calculation if possible.

Thanks

Assuming you have validated that fld1 is no bigger than fld2. Then

set up fld3 as an unstored calculation:

MiddleWords( "0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8" ; Fld1+ 1; Fld2 - Fld1 + 1)

You need to make a Custom Function to use in this calcaulation.

Make a Custom Function Range with the Parameters Start & End.

The function looks like this:

Case ( End > Start ; Range (Start; End - 1) & "," & End; End )

Now Define Fld3 as a text calculation = Range ( Fld1; Fld2 )
