Reverse Text display

[TRF]

Wondering if anyone has done this. I need a calc field with a scroll bar to always present scrolled to the bottom - whether or not the cursor is in the field. Any thoughts?

Only with a script.

And you must prevent to commit the record.

But why do you need it ?

[TRF]

It just has to do with a clients specific request - how they like to store and review cumulative data in a field.

What script steps do you use?

[Raybaudi]

Set Selection [ yourDB::yourField; Start Position: Length ( yourDB::yourField ) + 1; End Position:Length ( yourDB::yourField )]

Scroll Window [To Selection]

Nice - thanks!

[Raybaudi]

Yes ?

But I don't like it !

Which is the client's specific request ?

To always see the last entered row ?

In that case, another simple calculation field may solve the problem:

RightValues ( yourField ; 1 )

Sounds more like this should be a seperate related database with date/time or timestamped entries that are sorted in reverse.
