FM9 calculations w/o scripts

PatriciaW
in Calculation Engine (Define Fields)

Featured Replies

I have an application developed with FM7 and the client would like to automatically calculate (and display) the value in field B when they tab out of field A. I'm only an occasional user of FM so I do not know the best way to do it. In FM7 there is a button beside field A which invokes the calculation via a script. I've now put the calculation into the database table definition but that still doesn't change the displayed value until the record is saved.

Is there any new way of doing this in FM9?

First are both fields from the same table? An auto-entry with 'do not replace' unchecked can usually do it. I am not sure of your full intent.

Perhaps this can help as well.
