Building a form on a form's response?

Anyone remember the really old days of paper forms when there would be a box, often at the bottom of the form, that would be marked "Office use only"? This was a way where after someone, let's say a customer, had filed out a form, then the office staff could complete their own form on that completed form. It was used for things like:
adding comments
showing progress
adding approvals
Now, we're trying to do the same thing in Adobe FormsCentral, but are a little flumoxed about the best way to go about this.
We can build a regular form, no problem. The question is what's the best way to build the form that addresses the input of the first form?
Extract the data for the record in question and laboriously build a new form, adding comment boxes and such?
Immitate the old school method and put the "Office use only" box right on the original form?
Make a PDF of the record in question and just tell the office staff to add comments? (we don't like this idea because it is more laborious and requires office staff to have certain software and skills)
something else?
Anyone out there tried this? Anyone have other ideas?
Thanks!

Hi Kathryn
Thanks very much for your reply. I did as you suggested; I dropped the synonym and created a view:
create view my_table as select * from my_table@my_dblink
...and was able to create a multirow form based on that view.
However, when I try to update any value on the form, I get the following error when submitting it:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-01461: can bind a LONG value only for insert into a LONG column ORA-02063: preceding line from DB_LINK, update "APEX_DEV"."MY_TABLE" set "CAMPAIGN_ID" = :b1, "SITE" = :b2, "PERCENTUAL" = :b3, "DURATION_MONTHS" = :b4, "PRG_ID" = :b5, "AFF_ID" = :b6 where "CAMPAIGN_ID" = :p_pk_col and "SITE" = :p_pk_col2
I thought it was because the form was based on a view; so I dropped the view and re-created the synonym (using the same name). When I tried to submit the updates again I got this error:
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "35636E5FDD251146DB4B7B56119E7914", item checksum = "A884FA378C851786DDFE3A33709CB23C"., update "APEX_DEV"."MY_TABLE" set
If you or anyone else could point out what I am missing, and maybe explain what those messages mean, it would be great!
Thanks
Luis

How to make different forms available based on user responses

I have created 4 fillable application forms in Adobe Acrobat 9 Standard. First time using this product.
Boss wants a dynamic form, so that if a user answers Yes to a question in Form A, then Form B is automatically inserted into Form A for the user to complete. If they answer No, then they continue in Form A, until questions prompting them Yes/No for Form C and Yes/No for Form D.
We believed that this might be possible if we upgraded to Acrobat Acrobat 9 Pro, with the LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1 bundled in.
I have looked at Pro and can't figure it out, and I've looked at LiveCycle Designer ES 8.2.1 and am completely confused as it is so different.
Saw a tutorial that said to go to Tools and use the Action Builder, but I don't have this option in my version. Not sure why?
We want users to be able to use Reader to complete and save the form, and print it for mailing, emailing or faxing to us.
Any guidance or suggestions, or advice on recommended books, tutorials, or training would be appreciated.
We are in Ontario, Canada.
Thanks

Hello,
We had a similar requirement.
The best way we found was to implement the enhancement spot in the beginning of method LOCK_ORDERS of class CL_CRM_METHODS_BTIL. Here, you can prevent the user from editing a business transaction. Be aware this method is called for any BT, so you need to adjust your custom development accordingly.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,

Sabian has pointed you to an older Acrobat X tutorial.
It depicts the use of acrobat.com "workspaces".
"Workspaces" are going away soon.
See:
https://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-4203
So, what is shown in the Adobe TV session is, basically, obsolete.
For forms you may want to give acrobat.com's (now "Adobe Document Solutions) FormsCentral subscription service a look-see.

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?

How can I embed an DOCTYPE HTML Form from Adobe Forms central into a responsive html5 page?
-Luis

Hi,
You can embed the form on your website, but you need to make sure that javascript has been enabled in the browser. You need to copy the embed code and add it into your HTML code. If you would like FormsCentral to generate embeded HTML form without using javascript, you may post a feature request and vote it. Hope it helps! Thanks!

ORACLE EXPRESS: build a page with multiple forms linked to one table

hi,
im using oravle application express. APEX
i would like to build a page with multiple forms linked to one table (orders) , the page has 4 from each one with different order_id number (depending on filtering), and if the order is prepared click yes for each order and this 'YES' should be UPDATED AND SAVED to each order number in the same table with the press of one button.
i created all the form as (sql query)
and create one update process
(UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_1
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_1;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_2
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_2;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_3
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_3;
UPDATE ORDERS
SET TRAY_PREPARED =:P10_TRAY_PREPARED_4
WHERE ORDER_ID =:P10_ORDER_ID_4;
i dont know really if i can do that, but it appear hat it actually saving according to order_id number , but not all the time some time it saved the value as "null".
please guide me what is the correct way to do this.

BUT IT WAS FOR MULTIPLE INSERT
thanks.

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,

Columns' positions do not match in pdf form compared to the "View Response" tab in Form Central

I think I understand why this happened. And I am loookng for workarounds.
For example, let's say in the beginning you have five fields (A, B, C, D, E) in your form. Later on, you decided that you need to add two more fields says A1, and C1, and now the fields are as follow A, A1, B, C, C1, D, E. After you submitted the form to Adobe Form Central, you take a look at the "View Responses" tab, and you realize the order of the columns are as follow A, B, C, D, E, A1, C1.
I believe this happened because the new fields A1, and C1 were added later. But I am wondering what are the workarounds?
Thanks in advance.

Yes, it does work in Acrobat Reader. I'm just trying to determine if this is a recent bug in Tiger (like maybe because of the 10.4.9 update) or if it's something related to the particular version of Acrobat the file was created in.
I haven't had to have Acrobat Reader on any of my Mac's since Jaguar.

Forms services and form builder

Hi,
We are installing Oracle Forms 10g Application Server 10.1.2.0.2. What is difference between
Form Services and Form Builder. Which one developer should be used for migration,qa purpose?
Thanks
sandy

Sandy,
Oracle Forms Services is a part of the Oracle Application Server and is used by the apps server to display a Form built with Oracle Forms. Forms run inside a Java container in a Web Browser (Internet Explorer, etc.).
Oracle Forms Builder is a Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool used for creating user interface applications. Your developer will use the Forms Builder to create new or modify existing Forms applications.
I'm not sure what you mean by Migration and QA. Are you migrating from an older version of the Forms Builder? As to QA, who ever is performing the QA would need the Forms Builder only if they need to look at the PL/SQL code in a Form for standards compliance, proper logic, etc.
Hope this helps.
Craig...

Brilliant, works like a charm. Thanks very much, Nickels55!
Is there a way I can add something like your
"vidcontrol._visible=
false;" to the "Mojaveexternalall.swf" skin as well? Right
now if I
click on the big arrow, everything works fine, but if I click
on the
Mojaveexternalall's small Play arrow instead, that new button
layer
doesn't disappear.

Deploying a form built using forms 10g builder.

Hi Everybody,
I Have experience with forms 6i Devlopment, Recently started with forms 10g.
while developing the form under forms 10g environment.
We have to start OC4j Instance and if we choose the RUN option form will run automatically.
But now, I have a confusion in deployment phase. so once the forms developement is completed, What are the configuration steps required, so that client can access the URL and access the forms built by us.
Please can anyone provide information overthis.
Thanks in advance....Pc Rao

Hi,
Once you complete the copilation phase.Then your fmx will be created in DevSuiteHome_1/form folder in your local PC.
Then give access to your PC fmx to your client like one shown below,
http://localhost:8889/forms/frmservlet?form=myform.fmx&separateframe=true
if you want you can store all the fmx in the server then remove the local host from above url then give the server ipaddress....But make sure in both case OC4J must be started.This is just a basic configuration.
Thanks,
Pavan.
