    Is it possible to make a filed that can get changed when is getting copyied?
    For example the field is showing "A-1",when you make a copy of it the copy
    is going to be

    "A-2" and so on. Thanks

    Haven't tried it but it should be possible. You'll need to:

    1. Add code to a document event such as EndCommand
    2. Test the command name to see if the command was COPY
    3. Then check to see if the copied item was a field object
    4. Assuming 3 is true, then grab the value [or text] of the field
    5. Increment the value as necessary
    6. Put the value back into the field.

    This is just a game plan but it should be close to what you need to do.
