Duplicating data on form

[albert_clawson]

How do I create a form that has you enter data in one field and then that data appears in several locations within the same form?

There are multiple ways this can be accomplished.

One way is through script. The attached demonstrates the use of an exit event to push data from firstName in subform1 to firstName in subform2. It also demonstrates the use of a calculate event to pull data from lastName in subform1 to lastName in subform2.

There are other techniques when a data source is involved.

If all you need is for 2 fields to have the same value you can select all the fields, go into the binding tab, give them all the same name and select Global for the Default Binding. Any data entered into one field will be duplicated in all other fields with the same name.
