How to show subform based on first two characters of a combed numeric field?

[Former Community Member]

Hello all,

I'm trying to figure out how to show a subform only if the first two characters that are entered into a numeric field are 1 and 4, or 2 and 6.

The numeric field allows for a max of 8 characters and the pattern is num{99999999}.

I don't know what the code is to validate and execute a code based on the first two characters in a combed-object. Also, I assume i have to set the code to the calculate or exit event and use JavaScript as my language.

Thanks all for your help!

In the exit event of the numeric field in formcalc you could do:

if (Left($,2) == 14 or Left($,2) == 26) then

...

endif
