When i finally put together my tree survey form i will need to be able to calculate the total value of 3 fields to give a final result which will be the risk factor for the tree surveyed (FAILURE SCORE X TARGET SCORE X IMPACT SCORE). I would also need to then auto populate another field giving priority for works. The higher the risk value given the quicker the works have to be done. Could any tell me how to code this. the 3values are multiplied to give a risk factor 4000+ 7??? Extreme Evacuate/prevent access to impact site, emergency call???out of contractors 2001???3999 6???

Hi i have no training in gis so this needs explaining to me very simply. i want to auto populate the fields on the tree register form that comes with arcpad. I want to change the script so that it will automatically fill in the other fields when one is filled. The fields i need to populate are the scientific name for tree species and the common name for tree species on the tree register form that coems with arcpad. Also i need to add extra fields to the survey form as it does not contain enough fields for the information i need to collect. How do i go about this without stopping the original coding from working or is this a silly question? ... View more
