Toggle Date field in New Page.

Hi,
 
I have a date type field namely "Start Date". In New  page Start Date should be editable.
And in Edit Page Start Date should be read only.
 
We can't able to do it from page layout because for New, Edit and View page layout is same.
I tried to use a scontrol to create Start Date field. But that scontrol(by default) will be called only in View mode not in new and edit mode.
 
Do I need to override New button for that? Or is there is any other way to do it?
Please help me if anybody has any idea.
 
Thanks in advance

S-Control formula question

I have a picklist of data. I need to use that picklist to populate a non-text field. Wondering if S-Control can do that - and what the formula would look like.
 
Here is the data I am using as an example:
I have a total sale payout field which is a currency formula field.
Using that amount in conjunction with the following chart it yields the payout amount. I need the payout amount field to be a summary field in the Salesforce reports (meaning it can be totaled) so it cannot be a text picklist as I have it set up now. I would like to use an S control to read the net revenue value selection that I enter and generate the payout amount into a non-text field. Any chance of that? I am not a Salesforce guru - so if this makes no sense - let me know. The chart is much more extensive than the one below - but it gives you an idea.
 

Net Revenue Amounts

(per appointment or hot lead)

 

$ Payout

$0 - $500

$5

$501 - $1,000

$15

Retrieving the retURL in an S-control

I created a custom button to automatically edit a field and save the changes using the retURL and passing the form parameters.  It works great.  I then created a custom edit button on the object to specify which record type to use.  It works great but now the first button doesn't work.
 
I think the field values from the first S-control aren't being passed through the S-control of the custom Edit.  Is there a way to read the retURL passed to the Edit page?  If so, that would solve my problem as I could simply append it to the url to exit the page.  When I tried to do so, I only get a null value so I know either I'm not doing it right or it's not possible.

Copy CONTRACT field to the CASE

Hello -
I need help!

I have 1 field on the contract object and want the value to simply "copy" over to every case associated with that account.

For example.  The account has one contract associated with it. The contract has a field called "service level" .  I want that service level to appear on every case for that one account.

Would I do this with an S-Control?  Any advice would be AWESOME!

Help-copying autonumber into cloned record

I am trying to accomplish the following for a client:
1.On the original opportunity there is an autonumber field for Opty ID. (the number would look like IGS-#####)
2. When the opportunity is cloned we want to copy that automated number into a field called Original Oppurtonity ID. So far we have gotten as far as getting the hex equivilant copied but cannot seem to find a way to get the actual number.
 
My client needs the original ID for reporting purposes otherwise we would just go with copying the name of the original id.
 
Any thoughts or suggestions would greatly be appreciated.

PRIORVALUE in Custom Formulas

PRIORVALUE on CONTACT entity:
 
I am trying to write a Custom Formula (Field Update) that uses PRIORVALUE for MAILING ADDRESS fields. (Street, City... etc). The PRIORVALUE works fine when the prior value of these fields is not blank. In the case when the prior value of all these fields* (and not one of the fields) is blank, it returns the MAILING ADDRESS information of the associated ACCOUNT.
 
I want to update certain fields when the MAILING ADDRESS information (any field) changes and due to the problem explained above, it is not working when all the fields are blank.
 
Anyone please suggest.
 
Thanks

custom formulas & products

Hi All--

I have a issue and I wonder if anyone has ever come across it before.  I want to create two opportunity level custom fields that sum up different products associated with the opportunity.  I.E., Opportunity Custom Field A sums the amounts of products 1,2 and 4; Opportunity Custom Field B sums the amounts of products 3 & 5.  These are different types of products (software and services,) so you should be able to look up by the names.  

I've tried this a few different ways, using both custom fields and s-controls and I can't seem to get it.  Any suggestions?

Thanks,
BW

Problem with CASE formula....

I am pretty new to using Sforce custom fields, but pretty experienced with computer jargon....Can someone tell me why this error (Error: Incorrect number of parameters for function CASE(). Expected 6, received 7) is happening in the following formula and how I can fix it.
 
Code:
CASE( Frequency__c ,  IF( ISPICKVAL( Frequency__c , "Low") , 1, 0) , 1, IF( ISPICKVAL( Frequency__c , "Moderate") , 2, 0), 2,IF( ISPICKVAL( Frequency__c , "High") , 3, 0),3)  *  CASE( Severity__c , IF( ISPICKVAL( Severity__c  , "Low") , 2, 0), 2, IF( ISPICKVAL( Severity__c  , "Moderate") , 3, 0) , 3,IF( ISPICKVAL( Severity__c  , "High") , 5, 0),5)

 
What I am trying to do is have a picklist value return a number so I can multiply two picklist values together to obtain a number.  The picklist values are Low, Moderate, High for both frequency and severity.  I want to multiply the values to obtain an Impact Score....thanks!
