Using forms with a table retrospectively (ipad)

I have a table in numbers that I am using to track my travel budget. I didn't create the original spreadsheet and there's lots of formulas. There's also a lot of data in there now and it's tricky to use as a spreadsheet so I'd like to implement forms.
My research tells me that the reason I can't start a form at the moment is because the table wasn't set up with headers, & turning headers on now doesn't fix it.
Is there a way to start a NEW table (with headers turned on) and import my current data including formulas/values? So far, I've had no luck trying it myself.
Thanks.

There should be no reason you cannot get the headers to work, as long as you fill in a header for every column Even if it is "Calcs 1".
If you must amke a new table, You can make a new table set up with headers and footers then copy/paste the data from the old table into the new one.

How to build a form with multiple tables in oracle application express

Hi everyone,
I have got problem in building a form with multiple tables.I have a main table with (20) columns and this main table is related to the other tables with the primary key-foreign key relation ship.My requirement is i have to build a form which has fields from many tables and all the fields are related to the main table using (ID) column.In that form if i enter ID field i have to get information from differnt tables.
Please help me to solve this (building a form with mutiple tables)
Thank you

Sans,
I am no Apex expert, but with a situation as "complex" as yours, have you thought about creating a VIEW that joins these 7/8 tables, placing an INSTEAD OF trigger on that view to do all the business logic in the database, and base your application on the view?
This is the "thick-database" approach that has been gaining momentum of late. The idea is to put your business logic in the database wherever possible, and let the application (Form, Apex, J2EE, whatever) concentrate on UI issues,

Passing values to an internal table and use it with the table painter

Hi,
I have seen this topic here before but the answers didn't help me. Maybe I,m doing something wrong.
The problem is that I defined the following structure on the |Types| tab of the |Global Definitions| section:
TYPES: BEGIN OF DETAILS,
 EBELP TYPE EKPO-EBELP,
 BSMNG TYPE EBAN-BSMNG,
 LFDAT TYPE RM06P-LFDAT,
END OF DETAILS.
Then defined the following definition on the |Global Data| section:
WA_DETAILS TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF DETAILS WITH HEADER LINE
The problem is that when I try to assign a value to one of the fields in the program code like this:
LOOP AT WA_EKPO.
 WA_DETAILS-EBELP = WA_EKPO-EBELP.
 WA_DETAILS-EMATN = WA_EKPO-EMATN.
 MODIFY WA_DETAILS.
ENDLOOP.
gives me the following error:
"WA_DETAILS" is not an internal table -the "OCCURS n" specification is missing.
Then if I add the "OCCURS 10" to the definition of the Global Data the error "OCCURS 10" is not expected.
How can I define, assign values and use as a parameter an internal table defined with types for use it with the table painter?

Hi,
if it is one record in wa_details. you can directly write as follows..
REPORT ZCR_TEST1 .
TYPES: BEGIN OF details,
 ebelp TYPE ekpo-ebelp,
 bsmng TYPE eban-bsmng,
 lfdat TYPE rm06p-lfdat,
 ematn TYPE ekpo-ematn,
 END OF details.
DATA: wa_details TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE,
 wa_ekpo TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF details WITH HEADER LINE.
wa_details-ebelp = '1'.
append wa_details.
wa_ekpo-ebelp = '3'.
append wa_ekpo.
LOOP AT wa_ekpo.
wa_ekpo-ebelp = wa_details-ebelp.
wa_ekpo-ematn = wa_details-ematn.
modify wa_ekpo.
endloop.
Normally it wont be one record, so u need to put read statement with key in LOOP and ENDLOOP.

Itextsharp using livecycle form with dynamic table

Hello all, after searching Google for the past two days and not able to find any relevant information, hence this post.
Some background:
1) Created a pdf form using Adobe Livecycle designer 9.
2) It is a dynamic form with textboxes and a table configured to repeat rows dynamically.
3) Testing form using xml data within designer works just fine.
Requirement:
Need to populate form dynamically using data from database.
Solution:
Found iTextSharp (free assembly) which assists with populating existing pdf form.
Issue
This assembly works without any issue when populating textfields (see sample code below). The problem I am facing is with the dynamic table where in I am not able to reference rows greater than 1. Since the pdf template contains a table with just one row referencing the first row using acrofield works.
I was under impression since this is a dynamic table with repeat enabled, in asp.net if I referenced row2 onwards the table would grow automatically. Which I have come to realize is not going to be possible.
So I am looking for ideas on how I can accomplish this. I wish this could have been a fixed row table then reference rows would have been easier. However in this situation the table has to be dynamic.
Any ideas thoughts would be appreciated.
Below is my sample code:
PdfStamper ps = null;
try {
// read existing PDF document
PdfReader r = new PdfReader(
// optimize memory usage
new RandomAccessFileOrArray(Request.MapPath("itext.pdf")), null
ps = new PdfStamper(r, Response.OutputStream);
// retrieve properties of PDF form w/AcroFields object
AcroFields af = ps.AcroFields;
// fill in PDF fields by parameter:
// 1. field name
// 2. text to insert
af.SetField("txtCompany", "Company name");
af.SetField("txtDateDepartLocation", "date depart location");
af.SetField("txtDate","test date");
af.SetField("txtServiceNumber", "Service number");
af.SetField("Table2.Row1.Cell1", "1test");  this works
//doesnt work!!!
af.SetField("Table2.Row2.Cell1", "1test");
af.SetField("Table2.Row3.Cell1", "1test");
// make resultant PDF read-only for end-user
ps.FormFlattening = true;
// forget to close() PdfStamper, you end up with
// a corrupted file!
ps.Close();
catch { }
finally { if (ps != null) ps.Close(); }

Using form from a table

I want to use a form from a table because it will create all my ddl.
However the table I want to use I have to get the description from other tables using a foreign
key. Can this be done.
Currently I am trying to do this with a report but I have to make my updates by looping
through apex_application.
Howard

Howard:
You could build a view that includes the columns that you need from the related tables. You can then create a Report/Form based on this view. However, you will have to make sure that the form includes only those columns from the table that you want to update/insert/delete .

Using form with mssql,access and oracle9i

Is it a good idea to use forms 9i with mssql,access and oracle 9i as back end
meaning using forms6i/9i as front end
what happens with datatype defined in mssql tables
like smallint etc
SEJ

Yes, I have read it. Good information, and it has gotten me close. If I follow what it says, I can get directly into insert mode ... however, update and delete buttons still exist.
Here are the exacts in my situation:
1) created a dynamic page that creates a link generated from the function 'Portal30.wwv_user_utilities.get_url('my_application.my_link','parameter_name','parameter_value');'. Notice no relational operator.
2) created a form that is based upon table 'b'. The value passed to this form by step 1 is a foreign key from table 'a'.
3) created a link object that references form identified in step 2.
By clicking on the link generated by the dynamic page (with a parameter set and no conditional operators set), we go to the form in insert mode but we see all buttons. After your last note I decided to try a new, fresh, Portal generated form based upon table 'b', making the primary key and the foreign key hidden. I modified the link to reference this new form. By clicking the link, I go to the form in insert mode, but ALL buttons are showing, including query, next, and previous, even though some of these buttons are invalid.
I am using 3.07.? We are in the middle of installing 3.08 or 3.09, whichever we can get running first. My dba is out for the week, so I will not be able to upgrade until next week.
Any thoughts you have would be helpful. I am on the verge of creating 2 forms, but I don't want the code duplication if I can help it.
Once again, thanks in advance.

Creating a form with variable table name(s)

Hi,
I am building a form that will allow user(s) switch to other user
(s) dynamically. I have been able able to do this by creating a
non-database table and use record group to read from the base
table of each user.(All the tables in question have the same
structure).
Record group is a read only, and I want to be able to do data
maninpulation with this form.
The questions are
(1) It possible to do data manipulation with record group and if
it is, how?
(2) Is it possible to build a form with a variable table name?
if possible, how?
Somebody pls help.
Thanks,
Olutunde.

Hi,
you can create and manipulate record groups at runtime(see Forms
Reference 'Create_Group' and 'Add_Group_Row') don't use
Create_Group_from_Query. For your purpose it's better to build a
cursor loop on your Query and add your datas after
manipulating with 'Add_Group_Row' to your Record Group.
It's possible to SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY(QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME) but
it's not possible to change the item property 'Column Name'.
Therefor I would suggest to build a non database block and
populate these block by a programm unit, which works with a
pl/sql cursor loop and the 'create record' to populate these
block.

Problem with using partialTrigger with af:table

Hi,
My use case is search page. I am using two jsf fragments in one page.
One fragment is to specify the search conditions. I have search command button on that search fragment. And when user clicks on search page the result has to come in another fragment.
I am displaying the result in a <af:table> and total record in one label. I have bounded the <af:table> with RichTable in the backing bean. I have put partialTrigger on the searchButton of fragment one.
When i click on search the label of result fragment gets updated. But the table doesn't change or updated.
I have the frank's example with poll and i have tried putting <af:Table> inisde <af:form> and set the partialTrigger on af:form. But still it doesn't refresh the table.
Can any body help me on this?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Hiren

Hi Frank,
I am able to refresh the <af:outputText> which are there with <af:table>.
So here the problem is RichTable.
I can observe the following happening inside the ActionListener of Search Button.
1. I have printed the RowCount of richTable.
2. I have added two more columns into RichTable.
2. Then I reduced one element form the List (this list is used as datamodel for Af:table.
3 Now if after step #2 if I try to print the Rowcount of RichTable then I can see that the rowCount is decreased by 1.
So after this other components inside page are getting refreshed. And also I can see that two columns are added into af:table.
But the rows of table are not getting refreshed. It is showing old data only.
Can anybody provide their input where I am missing.
Has anyone got the example which refreshes the data of <af:table> bound to RichTable ?
It will really help me.

Cannot type in previously used forms with newly installed 9.1 reader

Recently installed upgrade to 9.1 adobe reader.
Now the forms previously typed in cannot be filled with letters or numbers. These forms were from state institutions and meant to be filled out and typed with adobe. I successfully used these forms with the previous version of adobe reader.
The purple band shows at the top indicating the form can be filled. The I bar shows up and can be placed in the blank spaces but no letter can be typed in the forms.
Is this the result of failure of the upgrade software ?
Has any one experienced this problem?
I have only one installation of th adobe software 9.1 installed.
In reviewing the help data on line I noted they indicaed a "security setting" under file/ preferences. I dont know what they are talking about?
Have done the following based on other suggestions .
Changed the preferences changed the PDF/ A mode to "never'
Also now understand the security setting for the document. The document restriction summary show the document to allow "filling of forms fields" along with printing and content copying . Does not allow document assembly and siging.
Still unable to fill out the form
Message was edited by: visbama

Was your previous version of Reader earlier than version 9? Adobe abandoned an early version certain technology used to allow people to fill out forms and save them on their own computer. If the forms can be filled out with earlier versions of Windows, then you are stuck. Either the people have to re-enable the forms using newer technology or you need to use an earlier version of Reader. A similar problem creeped up with IRS forms.

Multi step form with three tables

Hi:
I have a database with 3 tables. Table 1 has one-to-many
relationship with two others. Infact in table 1 user should enter
his basic info and details will be submited itno two other tables.
Is there any easy way to make it with DW/colfusion?
I know that session may help but it is needed that each page
can submit information (if the user doesn't fill the last form them
I may loose data with session)
I thought of sending information to other page with form
action="page.cfm" but my problem is I don't know how to submit
information in the second form that the primary key of table one
becoms the foreign key of the next page. Please please I really
need this. I really need it.
Thanks
Benign

Hi:
Thanks for the reply. In fcat I have to put them in different
pages because they have many many fields.
Is there any easy way to do it?
My project is about patients registration database. I am a
medical doctor and know some about coldfusion and some about SQL. I
am doing this project for the patient and free of charge and I can
not hire any professional programmer. My research center has boght
a Coldfusion Web server (Webserve.ca) and we are in hurry to
register the patients and organize their data to manage their
cancer problems or alarming them for future personal/familial
follow ups.(purchasing the host was a problem then {because of the
money shortage}but solved fortunately)
The cancer information tables are about 10 tables and a
parent table for patients general/personal information.
I tried to build it with coldfusion/dreamweaver wizards but I
have many problems. There is no coldfusion expert avaiable as I
said (as you know there is a shortage of money in research centers)
and the solution is something that the patients really need.
It will be great if some one helps me. Surely the name of the
this project savior (you are really a savior of many if you help)
will be a part of the prject.
Thanks

Open form with hidden table

Hi All.
I have simple form with CheckBox and Table. I show table when CheckBox is True. My code:
form1.#subform[0].CheckBox1::change - (JavaScript, client)
if (CheckBox1.rawValue == true)
    Table1.presence = "hidden";
else
    Table1.presence = "visible";
But I would like to hide Table in case when user open form and then when CheckBox is True show table. In case when CheckBox is False the Table is hidden. How it to do? I will appreaciate for sample.
Thanks.

Hi,
this is not so difficult. You have to do the following steps:
open a new form.
insert a checkbox and a table into the form.
mark the checkbox
open the script editor (about window)
select "click-event"
write:
if (CheckBox1.rawValue == 1)
    Table1.presence = "hidden";
}else
    Table1.presence = "visible";
And now you have to hide the table under "object" | "presence" | "hidden (exclude from layout)"
Ready.
Kind regards Mandy
PS: Oh I haven't seen that the problem is solved.
