text entry w/ timestamp

[rayh34]

I want the user to enter a number into a text box, then have a timestamp field update right behind it. I will need several of these on same page. I can make buttons that timestamp, but cant seem to relate a text entry to a timestamp. Prob a easy one, just learning this thing. My next prob is to creat a grahic container that changes if the text field update time is past 12hours.. thanks in advance for your patiance,

If your text field is called myText, make a calculation field called myTextTimestamp with a calculation of:

   Evaluate( "Get(CurrentTimestamp)"; myText )

with a return type of timestamp.

The second argument to Evaluate makes myTextTimestamp depend of myText, so the timestamp will be re-evaulated whenever myText changes.
