Live update of field

Hi,

Is there a way to get a 'live' update on the fly so to speak for a field instead of waiting to exit it?

For example, as you type text in field_A, field_B calculates Length(Field_A)

Many thanks your your advise.

P

FileMaker sans plugin, no.

But you can go from the two clicks of exiting the field to one click or less. So as you type in field A, hit shortcut key or button to check length, your cursor never leaves the field.

Make field B a button, the script of which updates the Length, and make the last step Set Selection to put the cursor back in Field A.
