Posted on by USA80 26

Hello,

I am working with a form and on this form there is a primary key of "name" and it is a text box. This field when filled in becomes the actual name of the record. Now I am tasked with creating a new field, lets call it "field A" and it will be a drop down field. The field value of this drop down field now needs to become the actual name of the record, can this be done? If so how?
