work with forms data at form run time

[palple]

Hello everyone,
this is my first message here.

I was wandering wether there is a way to work with the contents of a form while the form is active and displayed.

For example I'd like to set the content of a form's field based on the changes of the content of another form's field.

I tried with another thread that looks at the form's fields data but it doesn't detect changes until the form is saved, ie. it is closed.

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

True, You cannot save the data before the form is saved. The trick is to save the field texts to a text file, which probably may be possible on saving or exiting the form.

I dont know if it works but try this, You can try to save the form fields after a time delay say after 5 seconds.
