Hi all,
My problem: we have recently changed an odometer on one of our fire engines. Naturally, the new odometer reads 0; but the rest of the engine has about 36,000 miles worth of wear on it.
I would like to automatically add the value of the original odometer to whatever mileage number is entered in a new record entry. Thus, if a new record is entered with a mileage of 117, it would be stored as "117 + 36000". or 36,117.
I am using the record entry preview mod, and thought that this would be the appropriate place to make the change.
I'd appreciate any thoughts or suggestions! Thank you...
