  Check out the G/L Chart of accounts form,
  CurrForm.Name.UPDATEINDENT := Indentation * 220;
  Indentation is a field in the table and has been updated by the Function.
  
  from the C/Side Reference Guide:
  
  UPDATEINDENT (Text Box)
  Use this function set the Indent property of a text box.
  
  UPDATEINDENT(Indent)
  Indent
  
  Data type: integer
  
  The indentation in 1/100 mm.
  
  Comments
  The Indent property can only be set by using this function from the OnFormat trigger of the text box - it cannot be set from the property sheet.
  
  The intended use is to provide some means of structuring information in a tabular form by indenting the contents of a text box, based on some notion of a hierarchy. See also the UPDATEFORECOLOR and UPDATEFONTBOLD functions which are meant to be used for similar purposes.
  
  Example
  You can use this function to indent a text box in a tabular form according to the value in some other field this:
  
  CurrForm.Name.UPDATEINDENT(Level * 220);
  
  The Level field is supposed to contain integer values from 0 and upwards. The higher this value is, the more indentation will be added to text box that displays the contents of the Name field.
