Script to modify auto entered data

[Baylah]

I have a field that on new record creation data is auto entered. That data needs to change from time to time but not often enough to warrant a drop down menu or something similar. Is it possible to script a change to the auto entry data so the user would not need to "define" the field to change the information in the auto enter area?

thanks,

Steve

No. But you could have a preferences table and keep the current value there. Then have your field auto-enter its value from preferences.

That is a great idea!

Thanks.

PS This is the first time ever on this list where I was told definitively, "NO" you can't do that.

It's because no one likes to look stupid when someone else shows how to do it 5 minutes later. I just hope it won't be the case here!

The truth is there are very few things that cannot be done in 'some' way.
