Is there anyway to align textfields on the seperation between the caption and value so the fields would be vertically aligned on this position? I can't even find the position of the line in the object dialog.
Thanks, doug

Overflow leader/trailer displaying as leader/trailer correctly but also displaying outside repeater
When creating a new overflow leader and trailer, a subform is created and added to the hierarchy. I've correctly assigned the repeating subform to the overflow leader subform and the overflow trailer subform. When rendering, it works for the repeating subform but the subform's text also appears outside the repeating subform due to the fact it is still a subform with text. There is nothing that I can find in the leader/trailer subform telling Adobe to not display it outside of being a leader/trailer to the repeating subform it was assigned. ???

Need Help with a drop down list
Hi i have a form that uses a drop down list to change a date/time field that has been working for a long time but has recently stoped working.
The drop down list has 5 selections that change a date in the date/time field based off another date/time field untill recently has worked fine but now when selection 3-5 are selected the date shown is for example 1-14-1900.
Here is the code used
if (DropDownList1.rawValue == "1")then
form1.Table2.Row3.DateTimeField1.formattedValue
elseif (DropDownList1.rawValue == "2")then
form1.Table2.Row3.DateTimeField1.formattedValue
elseif (DropDownList1.rawValue == "3")then
Num2Date((Date2Num(form1.Table2.Row3.DateTimeField1.formattedVal ue, "MMM DD, YYYY") + 14), "MMM DD, YYYY")
elseif (DropDownList1.rawValue == "4")then
Num2Date((Date2Num(form1.Table2.Row3.DateTimeField1.formattedVal ue, "MMM DD, YYYY") + 21), "MMM DD, YYYY")
elseif (DropDownList1.rawValue == "5")then
Num2Date((Date2Num(form1.Table2.Row3.DateTimeField1.formattedVal ue, "MMM DD, YYYY") + 25), "MMM DD, YYYY")
else null
endif
Any help would be appriciated.

Old chestnut: 3 or more dependent dropdown boxes
This problem has arisen in several threads previously but I have found the solutions difficult to understand. One solution alluded to in the pre-ES 6.X and 7.X discussions seems (to my untrained eye) a potentially very efficient and elegant solution to the problem. It suggested using a script on javascript.com: http://www.javascriptkit.com/script/script2/multiplecombo.shtml. The script seems to be written for a webpage rather than for LiveCycle Designer.
I am using LiveCycle Designer ES3 and what I have done so far is: copied the script portion of what is on javascript.com into a script object and created the dropdown lists required into a form (combo_0, combo_1 etc.) but cannot get the dropdown boxes to respond to the "change" function within the script. Here is the hierarchy:
I have tried referencing the "change" function in the script object in various events for each dropdown object (e.g. initialize, change) but to no avail.
Clearly, I'm missing something fundamental and was wondering if there is a simple solution to the problem?
Or perhaps the script isn't appropriate at all, or requires some further functions and coding which would be beyond me.
I would be grateful if anyone could point me in the right direction.

Required fields established by drop down list
Is it possible in Adobe to have the required fields set by what is chosen from a drop down list? For example, if I choose option 1, 5 fields would be required. If I choose option 2, 10 fields would be required.

Looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database
As the title of this discussion states, I'm looking for a solution or service to export data from a dynamic form into a database to be used for reporting. Creating the dynamic form is not a problem, it's getting it into a database that's more of a nuisance. A dynamic form is needed in order to provide skip logic, hide/reveal, and other similar dynamic features.
The database hasn't been created, so just looking for the easiest, more effective and dependable solution. The key is being able to run reports off the data later.

Using Javascript to hide objects that have no "binding" tab?
Hello,
I'm attempting to create a form that uses checkboxes to hide a variety of fields. I've run into a problem though; it seems that only text fields have a binding tab (unless I'm missing something). Is there a way for me to do show hides for images and text boxes? When I hold ctrl and hover over these items there is a small circle with a red line through it, which seems to express that it is impossible to manipulate them using javascript.
For the record, I'm using javascript as seen below:
BusinessDBAname.presence = "hidden";
If someone had any definite answers on this I'd really appreciate it.

Is it possible to send data to a table section based on category?
I am developing a form to print quotes for my company's customers.
One variation of the requirements calls for the line items to be grouped into table sections by category.
The data stream typically comes in as follows:
1. Line Item: Widget1, Category: Tangible Goods
2. Line Item: Widget1 Support, Category: Support
3. Line Item: Widget1 Services, Category: Services
4. Line Item: Widget2, Category: Tangible Goods
5. Line Item: Widget2 Support, Category: Support
6. Line Item: Widget2 Services, Category: Services
For most quotes, line items populate the quote in the order they appear, which is that support and services are grouped with their product.
However, the variation calls for line items to be grouped by their category, so instead the data would appear as follows:
Products
1. Line Item: Widget1, Category: Tangible Goods
4. Line Item: Widget2, Category: Tangible Goods
Support
2. Line Item: Widget1 Support, Category: Support
5. Line Item: Widget2 Support, Category: Support
Services
3. Line Item: Widget1 Services, Category: Services
6. Line Item: Widget2 Services, Category: Services
I know I can create a separate table with sections and hide it until this layout is called for.
I also know that I can evaluate each line item for its category.
What I don't know how to do is to send the line item to its appropriate section based on its category.
Is this possible?
Thanks!

PDF form field populate
Hi, I am currently trying to figure out a way to populate certain field forms from a database I built from Excel using Access. I am a complete newbie at scripting and I know that will be involved. I also know that I would need to bind certain fields as well.
This is what the form looks like:
I figured out out how to auto populate the date, probably the easiest part of this. I would like the contact/phone/cell/e-mail and fax to autopopulate based off customer name if that information is there and I would also like to be able to pull the Customer Name from the customername field in my database (this is the big one). I can use either a drop down list or ideally the user would start typing and the name would fill in as they type. I would also like to pull quantity information from the database as well if the job is a repeat. In the future I would also like to be able to add new jobs that export to the database from the form automatically but that's way over my head and I need to think about how I want to do that. Is something like this even possible?
Thanks for any help.

User Friendly Interface Issue, need ideas
Hi everyone,
I am making a complicated form with Adobe Livecycle ES2 and I have an issue regarding the User Friendly Interface.
There is information I need to ask about the work location and I have a few options with regions and cities in the regions
The user can choose any regions and/or metropolitan areas.
The issue is the request of my client, it is wanted too specify which region the metropolitan area is in and the boundaries are specified in a information button "?"
E.g.
National Zone
Regions and Metropolitan Areas ◄ not an option
Antlantic Region
Halifax
Moncton
National Capital ◄ not an option, but provides information
National Capital Region
Quebec Region
Montreal
Quebec City
Ontario Region
Toronto
Pacific Region
Vancouver
Victoria
Western Region
Calgary
Edmonton
Saskatoon
Winnipeg
Thinking of using a dropdownlist is not the best option because of the information provided...
right now I am using checkboxes with the right hierarchy above but it is not user friendly
I am hiding the checkboxes to show the chosen options with a join(", ") into a label
On a click of a button the checkboxes becomes visible and another button appears "Done Selection"
Each options above needs to provide information regarding the boundaries of the regions / metropolitan areas
I am wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to present this information and be easy to use and to see

ODBC connections to LC forms using LC Designer
I've successfully established a connection to an Access database and all is working well with the form.
However, I noticed that whenever the form is opened (and after approving the connection), it immediately populates the form with data from the first table record. Is there a way to stop this from happening? Reason being, I’d like to use this process for completing “blank” forms and simply pushing the data to the database. At present, I’m not really interested in “reading” records and populating the form.
So basically, I want to be able to open a balnk version of the form, complete it (and even perform incremental saves and the form maaintinas where I last left off - typical scenario), and only “Add” a new record to the database when the form is completed.
Other misc. questions:
1. This is a local (offline) solution correct? Meaning, the user doesn’t need to be online since the data connection is a direct connection to the Access database, correct? If so, does the Access DB need to be actively running on the local machine in order for the form to push/update data in the table/record?
2. Is there anything special when working with logic-based dynamic forms with hidden subforms? So, let’s say a subform group with 5 fields remains hidden until a user select “yes” to a particular question. I presume I can still establish data binding to those hidden fields correct?
3. By establishing a direct connection to Access and creating the field names in Access, is there no longer a need to embed a schema in LC Designer - since the the structure comes straight from the database?
4. Is there any help material in regards to performing a lookup function (i.e. using a field as the lookup variable).
Thanks in advance.

How to default hyperlink style inside a form
Hi experts,
we have a requirement for our form to remove the underlining of hyperlinks and to change the font-color. This should happen for all hyperlinks inside the form automatically.
As we are displaying hyperlinks dynamically it is not possible to format them manually. We need to have some sort of stylesheet or something similiar to generally define a standard style for all hyperlinks.
Is there any way inside the Designer to do it?
Thanks,
Wladimir

debugger flagging long-deleted scripts
Several aeons ago, in the early days of developing this form, I had scripts in both the Initialize and Calculate events of a number of subforms. It's a monster of a form with subforms for 9 different types of change request, each with numerous hidden fields that become visible depending on user answers to various questions. When I first started it, that was the only way I could figure out to ensure that the appropriate subforms would still be visible when a user closed and reopened the form.
I removed the Initialize scripts when I discovered the Preserve scripting changes setting (duh... 
). That was many months and several version ago.
However. the console still pops up and flags objects that were apparently referenced in those Initialize scripts, but whose names have changed in the interim. I've checked the form several times to be sure there aren't any renegade Initialize scripts still lurking in the background, and I'm confident there's nothing there...but that darn debugger jumps in every single time.
I assume it's not going to be a problem for any form user who doesn't have the debugger enabled in their own instance of Acrobat, correct? Since I'm pretty much the only person here who even comes close to working with Acrobat this way, I'm relatively confident it'll never come up.
But I would love to figure out how to get rid of it, and I have a niggling concern that there's actually some kind of problem behind the scenes that *will* come back to bite me sometime down the road. Can anybody tell me how to debug the debugger, or alternatively, how to locate the scripts it seems to still be finding somewhere?
Mil gracias!
