    Very helpfull however it took me a while to figure out that you have to 'click out' in order for FM to run the script in the Hide Object. Is there a way to run that Hide Object script when tabbing to the next field?

    Thank you for the great idea. I added a checkbox field next to the duplicate flag, called "HideDuplicate". I use a different field name than you, but I essentially hide the checkbox field using the following Calc, "Count ( Patients NameLast::NameFirst) ≤ 1". I then hide the Red duplicate warning with "Count ( Patients NameLast::NameFirst) ≤ 1 or Patients::HideDuplicate = 1"
    The "HideDuplicate" field is set to be a checkbox with a value of 1.
    I do this, because I would imagine that you may want to hide the warning occasionally for a common name like Robert Smith or José Garcia, that is actually not a duplicate.

    I need to have three fields. Last, First and Diocese. I tried using your examples. First and last name shows up but not the Diocese. So how do you string three fields?

      Create a calculation field as something like: NameFirst & " " & NameLast & " " & Diocese.
      In the long run, I think it's worth the time invested to learn these kinds of tricks. Best of luck to you.

    Shouldn't your calculation (at 8:28) be based on FirstnameLastname? You just used Firstname.
