You can use a custom calculation script for the third field, something as simple as the following:

// Custom calculation script for Name1 field

(function () {

    // Get the input field values, as strings

    var s1 = getField("Surname1").valueAsString;

    var s2 = getField("Givenames1").valueAsString;

    // Combine strings, separated by a space, and set this field's value

    event.value = s1 + " " + s2;

})();

It's not clear if this is how you want to combine the two field values, but it should get you started. Post again if you need more help and provide more specific info.

    Hi this did not work does it matter about tab numbers and does it matter that the original field is on page 2 and the receiving field is on page 11. Where do I put the code in the 3rd tab.
