Hi all,

I have 12 fields on a layout...

Jan
Feb
Mar
... And so on

In a script I would like to copy the value of the field of the previous month but I cannot see a way to specify the field to be copied based on todays month - 1

Any ideas please folks?

Many thanks
Ed

set variable as:
Evaluate(Left ( MonthName(Date(Month(Get(CurrentDate)) - 1;1;Year(Get
(CurrentDate)))) ; 3 ))

Left function is only to evaluate if your field names are all made  
with 3 letter length.

There are other ways to do this, but I think this will get you what  
you need without much tweaking.

I hoe this will help. Take care and have a nice holiday.
