    Where can I find more information about scripting? Does it help me create a value for a field based on other fields?

    The equivalent in Excel would be:

    A1 & " - " & A2

    If A1 = "THIS" and A2 = "IS IT" then the script would create a new value "THIS - IS IT"

    Sorry for the delay answering,

    Scripting does not offer Spreadsheet type functionality - Use Open Office / Libre Office or Excel
    You can not set up cell expressions.

    There are 2 main uses for scripting
    1) Exporting (reformating the output files).
    2) Updating the file being editted.

    Exporting:
    When used in exporting, you are basically reformating the file into some custom
    format. You might convert the file to html or add total line to the end of the file.

    Updating:
    This was added as a bit of an after thought, but I do plan to extend this in the future
    (if there is interest).
    Scripting does allow you to retrieve and update values in the file / view being displayed.
    I can provide info on how to go about it.

    Can you tell me exactly what you are trying to do ???
