Auto-fill field not saving to table

[aaid]

Hello!



I hope someone can help with this:

In the form, there is a field that gets filled in automatically by what is entered into two other fields on that form.

The information that is being automatically generated in that field is not saving to the table.

Example:

Field 1: Meeting Type
Field 2: Meeting Year
Field 3: Auto-fill field (starts out blank)

Field 1: I choose "Annual Meeting" for the meeting type (this puts AM into Field 3)
Field 2: I choose "2010" for the meeting year (this adds 10 into Field 3)
Field 3: "AM10" is now what shows in the field

I save the data base. I go look at the table and there is nothing in the Field 3 column, when there should be "AM10."

Any ideas about how to get it to save that info in the table?

Thank you!

What method are you using to "autofill" this field? I suppose you already know that it is not a good practice to save calculated fields?
