Default Two questions: Add an amount to a field + time/date of last print - 09-26-2005 , 04:22 AM






Hi

I am looking for a solution to these two questions:

* How can I create a field, where a amount is entered and regardless of
which amount 100 is added?
E.g. 36 is written in the field, when leaving the field 136 is the value in
the field.

* How can the time and date of the last print of a record be written, so
that it is shown on the record?
E.g. a record is printed and the user can see, when it was printed and
preferably to which printer the job was sent.

Thanks in avance for any help you can provide me with!

Daniel

1. In your field definition options, select Auto Enter, Calculated Value.
Uncheck "Do not replace existing value". Specify the calculated value for
YourNumber as YourNumber + 100.

2. Script the printing process to set a timestamp field. Take a look at
the Get (PrinterName ) function.

Thanks Matt
