Copying field values to other fields

Hi rbroyles,

The easiest way is to give the fields the same name and whatever value is entered into one field will autmatically be entered into all other fields of the same name. If this is a LiveCycle Designer form, the fields' properties must also be set to Global as well as have the same name.

If the fields must have different names then you can use a JavaScript to get the value of the first field pulled into the second field. An example of how to do this for an Acrobat form can be found in this article at JavaScript Corner-

Hope that helps,

Thank You

I had tried the making the field names the same and could not get it to work. After changing it to "Global" it worked just great.
