Linking Related (But Non-Identical) Fields?

Hi,

I have a form that has some related (but non-identical) fields, for example: name, signature, telephone number and email.

When, for example, "John Smith" is entered into the name field, I'd like "/John Smith/" to populate the signature field, and John Smith's telephone number and email address to populate *those* fields.

When "Mary Brown" is entered into the name field, I'd like *her* information to populate the same fields. How do I accomplish this?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

You have to add calculation actions to the fields. The exact code will depend if you are using Acrobat Forms or LiveCycle Designer.
