Hi everyone,

I have a form with a field named TREATMENT with the following options :-

1 Cryotherapy
2 Radiotherapy
3 Chemotherapy
4 None
5 Other (specify)

If the 5th option (Other) is selected, the user is required to specify what 'Other' represents.

I have created a combo box with the first 4 options and in instances of 'Other' the user can enter specific treatment that is not in the list (1 to 4).

What I would like to do is whenever the user enters a value that is not on the list (1 to 4), I would like to insert the word OTHER in front of the value entered. In other words all values not on the list will be prefixed by 'OTHER'.
E.G. if 'Surgery' is entered, I would like the value 'OTHER : Surgery' to be stored in the Treatment field of the table.

This will help in the generation of statistics from the table.

Any suggestions??

Many thanks in advance.


Will
