Thanks for helping out. I am in over my head with this project and any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm looking to auto enter a date and time into a field when text is entered into an adjacent text field. This will be used for logging data as events happen on an emergency response scene.

The format for the date and time is ddmmmyy HHMM

As the custom validation script of the second field enter the following code:

this.getField("DateTime1").value = util.printd("ddmmyy HHMM", new Date());

(replace "DateTime1" with the actual field name, of course)
