With the DVF architecture, an interval shouldn't be necessary. You could write the DVP so that a character entry triggers an event. One of the next tasks I have for the DV Plugin Architecture I am writing is some type of generic event handling.

There might be another way to do this in v7. ( I did not notice a version reference in the previous emails, but I might have missed it too.) How about this idea? Setup a DVF (Data Visualization Field) (maybe a view field would work too?) that would use Javascript to "emit" ARS events every second. The event would signal a guide to be run on the form and the recount to be done. Assuming that the above model works then I would think that Javascripts setTimeOut could even be set to run every millisecond seconds too. (now I have no idea how long it takes for an even to be processed and you might actually be able to flood the User Tool with events and never get the active links to stop long enough for you to actually type in the field too. (So do not set it to ever millisecond. :) But that might work and get you a smaller interval than 3 seconds. -- Carey Matthew Black Remedy Skilled Professional (RSP) ARS = Action Request System(Remedy) Love, then teach Solution = People + Process + Tools Fast, Accurate, Cheap....

RE: " Is it possible to populate a field as you typing in another field….like real time information and not populating it after losing focus or something… What I am trying to do is while you tying into a text field it should display how many characters are left for you to type in another text field like the example below.
