March 8, 201015 yr Is there a setting where upon entering into a field the data is highlighted? In the use of "Proper (name)" in the calculated value of for a name field, names that use "O'" or "Mc" require a space before creating the capitolization of the second part of the name, ie, require "Mccabe" or Mc Cabe" but not "McCabe" -- is there way to refine this?
March 9, 201015 yr Is there a setting where upon entering into a field the data is highlighted? There's a "select entire contents" checkbox in the field behavior options. Your second question is one that has no simple answer, but a custom function such as this one might be worth a try.
March 9, 201015 yr This is a topic that comes up from time to time. Take a look at the file attached to this Post: Link (NameParseLynn.fp7) Custom Function require the Advance Edition of FileMaker in order to create, and put into a file. A lot of time, the Custom Functions will work as a regular Calculation, but if they are a recursive, then it will not work. Your preference indicates that you have the Standard Edition, you could have a friend with Advance put the CF into your file. HTH Lee
