Hi all.. I swear I knew how to do this at some point.. but have since forgotten.
i have a form where a user is entering data in a listbox and in a text area.
what I want to do is to append both those entries with a word or two.
For example: If user selects a reason from a Listbox I want to append "Reason:" in front of it as it is saved to the table.
Kindly point me in the right direction.
thanks!

It's probably something like this in the Before Insert:
$RecordName->$FieldName->SetValue("Reason: " .
$RecordName->$FieldName->GetValue());
Personally I would prefer not to add the word over and over to the
record itself but rather to append in on the fly to wherever it is you
are showing or viewing it again. In fact, if there is finite number of
"reasons", I would prefer them to be in their own lookup table with the
value being inserted only the numeric ID for each. My two cents' worth!

Thanks Don!
I agree with you about the procedure.. but i sort of designed myself into a corner and don't have time to revamp the component.. but I will get to it later.. this is just a quick fix.
