Replacing Data Entered in a Field With New Data
This section describes how you can set up a field to replace entered data
with data you have specified in a replacement list. This is useful if you
want to standardize an entry in a field. For example, suppose your form
contains a
State
field and you want the user to enter the state’s two-letter
abbreviation. You can create a field that will allow the user to enter only
the specified information. So, anytime the user enters a variant of the
state name in fill view, the replacement feature will change it to your
specified version.
To create a replacement list:
1 Open a form and select a field where you want to create a
replacement list.
2 Choose
Object Definition...
in the Format menu.
The Fill Text Definition dialog box appears.
3 Click the
Filling
tab in the Fill Text Definition dialog box.
4 Select
Enable AutoFill
and click
AutoFill Wizard...
.
5 Select
Create or edit the AutoFill of the current field
and click
Next>
.
6 Select
Replace the data entered into this field with new data
and click
Next>
.
