Clicking Add Page button deletes data from initial page.

Question

I have an Add Page button on the first page. I enter information into my first page. When I click the Add Page button, a new page (page 2) is added but the information I have inputted into the first page disappears. I have attached the form that I am struggling with. Any help would be appreciated!

Answer 1

Modified your sampel to make it work.
1. For the Page 2 subform you should set the minsize as 0,  themaxsize to 1 and the initial count to 0. In doing this there is no addressable object to script against.
2. In the code that adds the page you have a command:
form1.Page2.instancemanager.addInstance()
As there are no subforms for Page2 present you get an error about the object not existing. The Page2 object does not exist yet so you cannot call teh instanceManager method. So you must use another notation to get to the instanceManager. In this instance you vcan use the underscore (_) notation to access the instanceManager of an object that is not part of the layout yet. So your command will be:
form1._Page2.addInstance().
3. You may want to disable the button after they add the second page as well as position the cursor in teh 1st field on teh next page. To do this you can add this code:
xfa.host.setFocus(Page2.Table1.Row2.Action_Step);
this.presence = "invisible";
Note that you must reposition the cursor before you hide the object otherwise the hide the button code will not work.
Hope that helps
