Have you assigned the calculable flag in the field options?
In your example, you are trying to validate the value of field 1 based on the value of field 2? Then, try putting FT_FIELD2 in the formula for FT_FIELD1. Or self-reference: SELF = FT_FIELD2.
For an auto-calculated field, EQ(FT_FIELD1, FT_FIELD2) should return a true/false.
For text, some string functions to consider: STRCMP(FT_FIELD1, FT_FIELD2) for case sensitive, or STRICMP(FT_FIELD1, FT_FIELD2) for case insensitive.
