how do i make a self populating field? ImTheTic 12/23/2008 11:55:00 PM I'm looking to make a form, so that when a certain piece of information is typed in (i.e. name: "John Smith") it will automatically get filled in in other spots on the form, and on different forms. For example, when I type a name into a name spot on the front of an order form, it'll automatically show up on the "ship to" line and on the next page which is an internal form itemizing the customer's needs. Can this be done?
