InfoPath Dev

Hi,
I need that a cell change its content just after leave it with a new value based on the input. For example, I want that a number field assume the typed value multiplied by 1000 after the cell has been leaved with a tab or mouse pointing to another field. For this I used onAfterChange event, but this cause the event to loop and report an error.
Any tips/tricks to solve the question ?

Many thanks and best regards

Hi Abrusci, Welcome to the Forum!
First thing is it loops because when you are changing value in "OnAfterChange" event you are causing the event to call itself again, and this goes on until the value reaches the max of integer size.
There is also another limit on the number of onafterchange event getting called.

If you want to do this operation you need to have two nodes, one which accepts the value and one which stores the multiplied value.

Hi Francesco,
There is a section in Chapter 2 which discusses how to prevent infinitely percolating events. Good luck!
