Hello.

I have a form with 10 fields, I want the user to enter data into the form, TextField2, and them i want to assign the value in another field, TextField10, so that when the user get to his part of the form field is already populated.

thanks

Look at the "global" binding property for fields with the same name or make the TextField10 calculated read only and add a calcuation script to set the value.

I dont understand your response... the field can not be read only. and what would the caluation script look like I tried TextField10 == TextField2 and TextField10 == TextField2.rawValue and the field always displays with no value..

other thing i tried where to declare a valable

CorpName

and excute a script

CorpName = TextField2
CorpName = TextField2.rawValue

and other script

TextField10 = CorpName
TextField10 = CorpName.rawValue

i also tried use '=='

no avail

thanks

Have you looked at the options under LiveCycle Designer's "Help" option. There is a whole document about scripting.

If you have multiple fields that will have the same value, name the fields with the same name and make the "Binding" option "Global". Then when any one of these same named fields is updated they will all update.

Your other option is to use a calculation script. User enters the text in TestField2 one can then use the following code in the calculation event as a FormCalc script:

TextField10 = TextField2
