Hello,
I want to fill a text box automatically depending on the input from another text box. For example in the first text box the user types a company number and after the sixth
digit the company name prompted automatically in the second text box.

Hello WFLurker,
thanks a lot. i will check this tomorrow. How can i combine the code with a webfocus datasource. the company names and id are in a webfocus datasource in this case a sql server 2005 table. in my project i have to build a form in which sales-people colect their contracts and the amount of savings.
