Hi guys,

I want to have 2 textboxes. One you can type in, one you can’t.  
When I type text into box A I want that same text to appear in box B.

Any ideas how I could do this?

I hope there is an easy method because I am thinking a function that detects key presses and enters them into the box… seems quite complicated!

Thanks in advance.

Sean
