Auto-populating a Second Form

[Iakov_Qvaz]

Greetings, all.

The trials and tribulations of being a novice.  I know less than I require for a task.

------

I have two forms  -  Form A & Form B.

When I enter name = Joe and phone = 111-2222 in Form A,  I'd like the name and phone number fields on Form B to auto-populate with name = Joe and phone = 111-2222.

Help, pleeeeease!

If you have two forms then you will need to export the data out of one form and into the other. Are both these forms based off of the same schema? If they are then you can simply bind the fields to the nodes in the schema for each form. Then when you export the data from the 1st form it will be in the schema format and when you import into form 2 then it will bind correctly.

Hmmm.  Makes sense.  I appreciate it.

But is this the ONLY way?  For instance, is it possible to script the fields so that

formB.name = formA.name

formB.phone = formA.phone

Something like that.  Direct calls between the forms without an intermediate export/import procedure?  Thanks.

That would only be appropriate if both forms were open at the same time under the same container.
