Custom fields in Contacts

[TCEBob]

I'm programming some very simple fields by way of the Format Columns
Formula utility, with some success. But the stream-of-consciousness
format the utility imposes is hard to deal with after a few nested IIF
statements. Is it possible to prepare a sub in an editor and import it?
Is there a line continuation character? If I had a VB macro could I
associate that with a custom field?

Thanks in advance for your patience; I hope this is the right forum.

No, the formula must be continuous and use only the allowed functions. Sounds like you've reached the point where it would be better to write VBScript code behind the form. See http://www.slipstick.com/dev/propsyntax.htm for details on the relevant events.

Thanks, Sue. I will pursue it.
