I have 2 text boxes named firstname and surname.

I have a thrid box called username.

How do i get the thrid box to add the user name automatically when the firstname and surname are entered?

The username must be (first 6 charachters of surname)+(first character of firstname)

eg. Firstname:Peter surname:Stringfellow
username: stringp

On your third box, bring up your Text Box Properties. Under Default Value, click the fx for inserting function:
cancat(substring(surName,1,6),substring(firstName,1,1))

It should work.

Hi,

Follow below steps to get your desired scenario,

1. Double click on third text box, "Text box properties" wizard opened.
2. Copy below formula to "default value" box .

concat(substring(surname, 1, 6), substring(firstname, 1, 1)).

3. Click "ok" button.

This will work for you,

Hilarious! Two people posting the exact same thing at the exact same time, haha!

Not exactly the same time though. I am two minutes ahead and K.Ramana Reddy has better format. :-)
