Hello, I’m trying to trigger one or some action as soon asthe user input 8 characters in the field (not after TAB or Enter…).

How can I monitor that ? Prefered in Formula … But LS is okay to. Thanks !!!

One way is to use the trick here. Another way is to use LotusScript and Windows’ API to trap the user’s keystrokes, but that is a lot of hard work.

Hi Sylvain,the Notes client supports JavaScript. There is the event onChange (works both in JavaScript and LotusScript, butr JS will work on the Web too). Then count the chars and use the .focus method to jump to the next field.
