Linked fields in Lotus

I'm using Lotus 1-2-3 to create a database. When a person enters a zip code in one field, I want it to automatically be input in another field on the same sheet. These Zip code fields will be for a PO box Address and a physical address. The zip codes will probably be the same, but I want the second field to be able to be changed, manually if needed.

Can anybody help me with this?
 
Well, you won't be able to use a formula in the cell AND have the ability to overwrite it cleanly, unless you do something wacky like have a third 'override' field for entry of the zip. The 2nd field w/ the formula would do something like:

if(isblank(3rd),1st,2nd)

If you have smartsuite, try using Approach. It's probably a better solution, and as far as database programs go, it's one of the easiest to learn.

You should be able to find more info there on all of the smartsuite components.
