If your field is a formula or lookup field you can display it more than once on a form; but you have to customize the form to do it; you cannot simply "add a field after/before this one".

However, if it is a data field (editable) in the table; you can only have 1 instance of the editable field on a Form. You can then build a formula field to display the value of the editable-field on the form however; thus having the same value in the form twice; but only once editable.

Thanks for the response.&nbsp; The data field is editable so I would go with building a formula field to dispay the value of the editable field.&nbsp; Can you let me know how to do that?

:)The formula is just the field name.&nbsp; So the formula for the new formula text field called "Title Name mirror" would simply be[Title Name]
