Zero Tolerence Posted November 21, 2005 Share Posted November 21, 2005 Just thought I'd share this with you all, most of you probably know this, some of you might not. I have a few forms that have to be worked in a certain order. Dropdown list 2 is based off a relationship between dropdown 1. The problem I've been having, in 8, is that when the user goes back, and changes dropdown1, dropdown 2 does not change. My end users often don't notice this, and thus have bogus data in their final form. So here is what I have done. I have changed the field DropDown2 to be an auto enter calc. with replace exisiting value unchecked, and the evealute if ref'd fields are empty box unchecked also. I put in this calc: Evaluate(Quote(""); DropDown1) What this does, is ANYTIME that DropDown1 is changed DropDown2 is cleared, giving the user a visual saying, I need to put something there! If you want to clear it out based on numerous fields being changed you can just add the fields like this. Evaluate(Quote(""); [Field1; Field2; Field3; Field4]) Anyhow, this was a life saver for me, maybe it can help someone else too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
