Text Object: How to use variables to displace text

[#1]

Hi All,

For my Text Object box, I would like it to display a massage like this: "Forecasting Date is: Feb/27/2011"

The "Forecasting Date is:" portion is just plain text, but I would like the "Feb/27/2011' to be a variable (ex. ForecastDate) that is base on user input through a Let statement in the Script (ex: LET ForecastDate = input('Enter current forecast date");)

Help Please!!!

Thank you

Will

you have to start your text with an equal sign ("=") in order to have your text evaluated as an expression, so your text object content should be:

='Forecasting date is:' & ForecastDate
