Hello there.

I know this question is so simple, but how to do retrieve a user id from a field and insert it into another field in the same database.

On Form A my field is called userID.

On Form B the field is called userID_1 field.

I would like to retrieve the value from userID and display it in the userID_1 field.

Thanks

Need more info. How is form B created? Is it from a button on Form A? What is the relationship between the forms? What is the user id? Is it @Name([cn]; @Username) or something they enter themselves?

There are a lot of ways to do things. Without for info on what you are doing, it’s difficult to answer.

Hi.

Basically I have used the following formula to generate a user id on form A inside a computed field : -

first:=@Left(@Name( [CN]; @UserName) ; 1);

last:=@Right(@Name( [CN]; @UserName) ; " ");

last2:=@Left(last ; 1);

year:=@Text(@Year(@Now));

month:=@Text(@Month(@Now));

day:=@Text(@Day(@Now));

hour:=@Text(@Hour(@Now));

minute:=@Text(@Minute(@Now));

second:=@Text(@Second(@Now));

“[”+@Text(first)+@Text(last2)+@Right(year;2)+month+day+hour+minute+second+“]”

Then I have included a button on form A that will open form B up. On form B, I have created a field that is computed and basically whatever ID is generated from the above formula…I would like to display in the computed field of form B.

Thanks,

Look at @updatedocumentcontext - that is what you want.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

I cant seem to find anything on “@updatedocumentcontext”. Is it called something else?

Thanks,
