Type in one field copy to another

[CHEYPeterson]

I have a drop down box so peopel can choose there location. I want it to refelct in the footer on the master page.

What coding do I use?

Thanks!

if the footer put a floating field and make the script for that field (in formcalc):

$ = page1.DropDownList1.formattedValue

(changing the name to whatever your dropdownlist is called).

I am unable to get it to work. I created a floating field and copied what you had and changed DropDownList1 to fac_nme.

Would it make a difference that I have the drop down in a subform? According to my hiearchy i have (untitled Subform) (page 1).

Thanks!

Hi CheyPeterson;

If you name the drop down list object the same as the text object while making the binding for the drop down global it should work.  Let me know if you need an example.  Good Luck!

yes it will make a difference - you need to make it:

$ = nameOfYourDropDownListIncludingItsSubforms.formattedValue
