The formula looks like this:

Right("00" & Left([IP Address], "."), 3) & "." &

Right("00" & Left(Right([IP Address], -1 + Length([Ip Address]) - Length(Left([IP Address],"."))),"."),3) & "." &

Right("00" & Right(Left([IP Address], -1 + Length([Ip Address]) - Length(Right([IP Address],"."))),"."),3) & "." &

Right("00" & Right([IP Address], "."), 3)

right("000" & floor([octet1]), 3) & "." &
right("000" & floor([octet2]), 3) & "." &
right("000" & floor([octet3]), 3) & "." &
right("000" & floor([octet4]), 3)

Let's assume the text field is called "Notes". Create a formula text field with the following formula:

Left([Notes], 100) &
" " & URLRoot() & "db/" &
dbid() &
"?a=dr&rid=" &
[Record ID#] &
"&dfid=11"

where the number eleven above is the identifier of the custom form that displays only the field "Notes". To determine the dfid of your custom form please read:

Let's assume the Date field is called "My Date" and that the Time of Day field is called "My Time of Day". Let's also assume that you want the display format to be:

08-17-2001 01:01:01

Then the text formula to display the date and the timestamp fields together in one cell would be:

[My Date] & " " &

Right("0" & Hour([My Time of Day]), 2)

& ":" &

Assuming your date field in QuickBase is called "Your Date Field Name".

Create a text formula field and set the formula to this:

Year([Your Date Field Name]) & "-" & Right("0" & Month([Your Date Field Name]), 2) & "-" & Right("0" & Day([Your Date Field Name]), 2)

The field containing red values is a multiple-choice field. The red values are "orphaned" values. An orphaned value is an choice that was removed from the list, but still appears in some records. By showing that entry in red, QuickBase is alerting you to this disconnect. If you add that entry back to the multiple-choice list, those values will appear in black again.

The best way to do this is to flip the problem around on its head.

1) Instead of making the date field a formula field, make it a plain date field.

2) Then remove the choice of "Complete" from your multiple choice "Status" field.

3) Create a formula text field called "Computed Status".

4) Put the following formula into the formula property of the "Computed Status" field.

In order to show a portion of a particular field's data on a report and/or form, you need to take these two steps:

1) Create a new formula field that will hold the subset of the original field's data, and

2) Add the new formula field to the forms and reports where you want the condensed field showing.

1. In the table bar on any application page, click the table containing the field. Within the menu that appears, select Customize --tablename-- table > Fields.

2. Click the field's name that you want to modify.

3. In the "Choices" text box, select the choices that you no longer want included in the list, press the DELETE key, and then click "Apply Changes".

For a multiple-choice field, you cannot enter a blank line as a choice in the list of options. If you do, the blank line gets removed when you apply your changes. However, you can leave the "Default Value" option blank. If you leave the default value blank, then the Add Record and Edit Record forms will have blank selected in the drop-down list.
