Jan, I've been exploring the on keypress eep this morning. No luck getting it to work so far. Pretty sure I don't completely understand how it works and how I can use it to accomplish my goal.
I'll look at the walkmenu time interval too. Thanks, David Sent from my android device. -----Original Message----- From: jan johansen <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thu, 01 Feb 2018 11:37 AM Subject: Re: [RBASE-L] - Autofill a form field David, You can indeed use the ON KEYPRESS eep. However you may want to explore your WALKMENU time interval setting. Default is 1500 ms. Try something like 3000 ms.

Perhaps a search of this and of Razzak’s helpful site would give you the clue.

Looking for a way to autofill a field in a form with a value from an existing table based in characters typed in. For example. If we have a table that holds city names, I'd like to autofill a field for city in a form based on what is being typed, with the more characters being typed increasing the accuracy of the fill choice. This value then needs to be saved when the row of data specific to a the job being entered is saved. I've played with a DB Lookup List View and this acts similar to what I'm hoping for. However you have to type very quickly to keep it from switching the lookup back to the first letter of the street name. I also don't need a long list, just a few choices as more characters are entered and narrow down the options to the correct choice. > Any help is appreciated. > Thanks, > David Fowler > > -- > For group guidelines, visit http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php [http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php] > --- > You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group. > To unsubscribe from this group and stop receiving emails from it, send an email to [email protected] [mailto:rbase-l%2Bunsubscribe%40googlegroups.com]. > For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout [https://groups.google.com/d/optout]. -- For group guidelines, visit http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php [http://www.rbase.com/support/usersgroup_guidelines.php] --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBASE-L" group.
