JTYLER Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 I have 2 edit boxes in my layout. I want the value to be the same as another edit box in the layout. I can not figure out how to make this happen. Seems as though you have to relate it to something in the table to generate the value. Any assistance would be appreciated.

eos Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Are both fields from the same table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTYLER Posted August 7, 2012 Author Share Posted August 7, 2012 no they are from different tables. i want to use field 1 from table x to populate field 2 in table y. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eos Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Seems as though you have to relate it to something in the table to generate the value. If they are from two different tables, you can't use an auto-enter calculation, but a script trigger will do. btw, if you have both fields on one layout, then these two tables must be related somehow (or one is a global). trigger.fmp12.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a rule, you do NOT want to duplicate your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
