I am relatively new at this , I have made a form with various pages. I have two areas where one can fill in address details, I would like to populate the field on page two with that from the first page. Can you help me to do this.
 
Thanks

Hi Gizwaldo,

Give the fields with duplicate entries the same name (exactly, case sensitive) like FirstName, LastName, etc. Click on one field and go to the Properties panel, under the Object tab, Binding tab set the Default Binding to "Global." Now all the fields with that same name will inherit the value after it is entered the first time. Repeat for all fields that you want populated with the same information.

Hope this helps,

Dimitri
