Converting Forms 3.0 to Web Forms

Hi,
Can I use f60cmp.exe for converting Forms 3.0 INP files into *.fmb files?
if yes, Could you also please tell me that what are all necessary steps to be taken for making the form as a web based form.
Thanks in advance,
Muthu

I appreciate your help Dunkan. your reply was very much useful.
I guess, i've mentioned wrong file name in my last posting. In forms 9i, the exe name is f90cmpm.exe (Am i correct?)
Also, When i convert the form as web form , what will be the forms user_interface? (Is it CHARMODE or GUI?)
Thanks in advance,
Muthu

I opened Adobe Acrobate XI Standard to create a form. I then selected From Template, which took me to Adobe FormsCentral Online. However, I think the form is an HTML web form. All I wanted was a regular PDF form that I could email my co-workers for an internal project we're colletively working on. Now I see that FormsCentral is going away and I can't get my doc to save as a PDF without an upgrade? Help

You should be able to log into the online Formscentral Acrobat XI air app and see your doc there. From there you would need to save it out as a PDF without a submit button to have it continue to work past July. If you don't see your online form(s) please let me know the adobeID you use to log into the service as well as the form name that is missing and I will look into it for you.

I have imported a PDF form (created in adobe acrobat XI pro) into FormsCentral. I now want to convert this document into a web form so I can embed it into my website. HOW DO I DO THIS?

I took a word document I had created and added fields to it in Adobe Acrobat XI Pro. I then imported the PDF in Forms Central and now I am stuck. All I am able to do with it in FormsCentral is add a submit button. It will not allow me to edit the document in FormsCentral. What I ultimately need to do is get this converted to a web form so that I can embed it into our company website. Additionally, once it's converted, I need to add an option for the user to attach their resume with the file before submitting. I have looked all over the web and I cannot find an answer as to whether or not I can convert PDFs to web forms in FormsCentral. This will ultimately determine whether or not the company decides to purchase these programs after the trial version has ended in a few days.

I tried that first, but FormsCentral does not have the capability to create tables. The form I need to create is more advanced than what FormsCentral allows. Do you know if there is a way to create or somehow import a table when creating a web based form on FormsCentral?

How to do simple form post to payment gateway from SharePoint 2010 list form OR InfoPath 2010 Web Form?

Working on a SharePoint 2010 Ent extranet site where parents of students can submit field trip permission forms and make payment at same time (optionally if fees involved). Was wondering if someone could advise (or point me to resource on) best way
to do a simple form post to an external payment gateway? Would be from InfoPath web form OR SharePoint 2010 list form.
Any guidance would be appreciated.

Upgrading Forms v5 to 10g web forms

Hi,
Can you upgrade directly to forms 10g from forms v5 (client server) or do you have to go to forms 6 first?
Can anybody summaries the upgrade path from v5
Thanks in anticipation

Arun is correct. Specifically to your question, see [Chapter 16 Upgrading from Pre-Forms 6i Applications to Oracle Forms |http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B25016_02/doc/dl/web/B15572_01/plsqlconv.htm#i1007147].

Can I customise the HTML code in an eCommerce online purchase web form?

The Adora template lets me customise the html code but then after saving the form it reverts back to the default. Can anybody tell me if I can customise this form or find where the form placeholder/HTML is located so that I can try and insert the html directly.
Thanks in advance!

Hi Brendon. Although the form is a custom web form the actual form you view is under the Registration Buy layout of eCommerce layouts.
You need to copy the html you edit from the customise web form part of the form and paste it into that Registration Buy Layout too.

Business Catalyst thinks I deleted my web form

I thought I may have found a way around Muse's weak forms implementation, by creating a web form on Business Catalyst > Site Manager > Web Forms.
I created a web form, set the email response, copied the html, inserted the HTML on a Muse page, published the site, filled out the form, and got this:
So I went back to the same page on Business Catalyst, deleted the web form I just made minutes ago, created it AGAIN from scratch, inserted the HTML in my Muse page, published it, filled out the form, and got the SAME ERROR message a second time.
I did not delete the form, but Business Catalyst thinks I did. :-(
How do I get around this "error of an ERROR?"
I noticed that there are THREE forms on BC with similar names (I only made ONE). To be sure that I'm working in the correct form, I COPIED it -- it now has the same name as before, plus the word "Copy." But when I open the copied form, all the fields are in the wrong order. I tried this several times, and this weirdness is consistent. Right now I'm really stumped on getting a decent (customized) form in Muse.
Thanks for any help.

Thank you, Vikas. That was the trick. :+)
I still don't understand what "submit a case" means, but I was able to get it to work, possibly not as you expected (?)
I had already published this site in its partially-developed state, when trying to get the form to also be published. So it was in the web page already, as the completed form.
All I did after reading your message was to go directly to businesscatalyst.com, create a new simple (unfinished) form, and then via Site Manager > Web Forms > More Actions > Add Web Form to a Web Page, choosing the contact page from my site in development.
When I opened the previously-uploaded site in my browser, the ENTIRE form was there as originally published, exactly as it was originally and formatted placed in Muse.
It works, but I confess it's about as UN-intuitive as it can be! :+)
Thanks again.

Status Line in Web Forms

I am using the static implementation of forms. I have specified
a console window in the forms property. I cannot see the status
line in version 6.0 (forms are displayed in the same frame as
static HTML). When I used version 5.0 of forms which displayed
the Web form in a new frame I got the status line but it was
always set to "Warning: Applet Window".
I like 6.0 implementation of showing the form in the same frame
but the messages in the status line is very important to my
application. Any help?
I tries adding "USESDI=YES" parameter to the static HTML, did
not make any difference. The client side looks like doing MDI
implementation because I can move my form around within the
applet window.
Thank You,
Amir

Pdf form -- Web form?

I created a pdf fillable form using Acrobat 9 and imported it into FormsCentral. Everything works fine! Is it possible now to make the form fillable as a web form? That would be not just a homerun, but a grand slam for me!

Hi;
This isn't something you can do with FormsCentral, the imported PDF allows you to distribute a PDF with a Submit button that collects the data back in FormsCentral for analasys but does not provide a URL or web version of the form.
Thanks,

Dynamic row selection based on Page member selection in Planning web-form

Hello experts
I have requirement where, user dont want 10 webforms to enter 2 accounts line for various sparse members. Below is the dimension detail and web-form current design
Account - Dense
Period - Dense
Year - Sparse
Scenario - Sparse
Version - Sparse
Entity - Sparse
Product - Sparse (600 level 0 members)
Product dim has family1 as parent and 40 level 0 mem like that there are 10 family level 1 members, now to enter account member (only 2 member) for 6 years projection ( it means 12 periods and 6 years in column ) , i can build 10 web-forms with one web-form has one family level-0 mem in rows,
however my question, is how can i achieve this in one web-form, instead of 10 web-forms for 400 products ?
your help is greatly appreciated.
Edited by: 859874 on Jul 18, 2012 8:58 PM

Im not sure there is any simple way to get dynamic row selection based on what is selected in the page.
If I were designing the form based on what you have stated, I would probably stick both Account and Year in the page, and the 400 products in rows. This would require the user to select the different combinations of Year / Account, but would mean only 12 columns (instead of 72).
Alternatively you could stick Account in rows too - meaning 800 rows, but less combinations to select in Page....all depends what is deemed acceptable to the user.
Probably other approaches that may be better than above (put Product in the Page for fun!!)
Thanks

Audit Intersection fails from Web Form

We have an HFM 9.3.1 application successfully integrated with FDM 9.3.1, in that when navigating to a base level intersection, which has been loaded by FDM, the audit intersection option allows a drill-through analysis to the correct FDM application / location.
This feature works perfectly OK from right clicking a grid intersection and selecting Audit Intersection. However, if a web form is used to display the same intersection and the user selects Audit Intersection the following error message is generated :-
System Error "The signed on token is no longer valid" the web screen also displays an error stating there are localization errors and that the action is empty or missing.
Repeatedly performing the same operation from data grids and web forms results in the web form audit always failing and grid audit always succeeding.
Looking at the URL parameters I can see that the two sets of actions sent to generate the FDM audit page are indeed different
I have included the source "action" parameter from the IntersectionSummarybyLocation web page. (With line breaks to aid readability)
Repeated successful Grid Audit

It would appear that the format for characters is different and the SSO_TOKEN is differrent (although this maybe by design since the calling locations are different).
I have checked that the Grid and Web Form operations are calling the same web page encoding of Unicode (UTF-8).
Anybody got any idea why FORM functionality is failing to display the Audit Intersection?
Kind regards
Colin

Applied Patches 9.3.1.1 thru to 9.3.1.4 (latest).
Problem resolved. Audit Intersections now work from both Grid and Forms.
Incidentally, both "Action" parameters from Grid and Form are now identical including the SSO_Token.

Best practice for testing a web form after converting to a connection file

I was using InfoPath to test a web form using a web service for the connection. I decided to deploy the form to SharePoint to make sure it worked outside of InfoPath preview mode. This required me to convert the connection to a connection file and publish
that in SharePoint. After getting all that set up, it appears to work from SharePoint.
Now I want to go back and work on the form some more. But in InfoPath it appears preview is no longer an option because the form is using a connection file. While trying to preview the form I am given a message that basically says the form will have to be
published in order for it to make the connection. This would mean I would have to overwrite the form on SharePoint just to test.
I suppose I could publish to a different form library and switch back when I'm done but it would seem that InfoPath preview should still be an option for testing. Is there something I'm missing in InfoPath that would allow me to still test with this form?

Not sure what you're doing, but previewing IP forms with data connections should be quite possible.

To put it simply, here are the basic steps:
Create IP form based on web service
Fill out form and test via Preview
Convert data connection to a connection file
Publish IP form and test on SharePoint
Go back into IP and try to test again via Preview <--- no longer works - now stuck with testing on SharePoint which is "live"
This could be a factor of how our SharePoint environment is configured. I have no other experience to base it on.

How can I convert a numbers spreadsheet into a dynamic web form?

Integration between InfoPath web forms (browser side), SharePoint 2010, and Word or Excel

To begin with the end in mind, here's what I need to do:
User A (employee) fills out infopath form in browser.
User A saves infopath form, workflow runs, and sends a link to the manager
User B (Manager) opens infopath form, clicks a button, and all the information from the saved infopath form magically appears in a excel document
Here's how I did it, because I couldn't find an easier way to do it. This is an InfoPath no-code solution (uses web service and workflow I had to build) and this is working somewhat:
In InfoPath Designer 2010, created the form from Blank 2007 form template.
Published the form and promoted fields to Sharepoint 2007 as a new forms library.
Created a view on forms library to show all fields (SQLExportView1).
Created SSIS package to import data from SharePoint forms list using the view "SQLExportView1" into a new database and table in SQL Server (tblSQLExport1).
Created SQL Agent job to run this package every 2 minutes.
Created workflow to notify manager.
Created excel document with an external data connection to SQL server.
In SQL, created a stored proceedure ("spGetCurrentID") to truncate, then add a row to a table ("tblCurrentFormID").
On InfoPath form, added a button that takes the current infopath form "ID" into a table in SQL server by calling the stored procedure via a web service.
On Infopath form, added a hyperlink to the excel file which opens in the client.
In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the current form ID, and drops it into a cell.
In excel, added a button on the workbook that queries the SQL database for the sharepoint list details that were exported via SSIS, returning only the row for the current form ID.
In excel, created a button on the workbook that displays the fields I want in the location I want
With over 25 users concurrently hitting the form library, there is a chance that when they open excel they will generate an excel document with bad data in it (data from someone else's current ID).
I've since migrated to SharePoint 2010, and it works the exact same way in 2010.
What I want to do is find a way to get the data that is already saved in the infopath form DIRECTLY to Excel by clicking a button without the web service, the stored procedure, the SSIS package, the SQL agent job, etc. My problem has always been
in getting the data from infopath into RAM/Clipboard/temp file(?) and imported into Excel by bypassing the SQL.
Of course, I would like to do this without requiring an administrator approved template in InfoPath, and have it be much more simpler to maintain. There are a lot of moving parts.
Please point me to any examples or make recommendations. The requirement is that users open the form, the data is filled out already, and with a click of a button, the data shows up in excel automatically in the right place for the item they're currently
looking at in infopath.
Now that I've got this working (kind of) for one excel document, management wants to add 25 other documents that this one infopath form can generate.
Therefore, once I get this to work better for one excel document, I can add other excel documents.
I've considered passing a parameter to the excel document in Excel Web Services, as I believe that excel web services 2010 can support this. However, I believe that the macros that run in the excel client okay won't work in excel web services 2010.
Users would prefer to open Excel in the client, though, so not sure I'm going to go down this path.

Clayton,
You rock - thank you for all your responses!
The infopath form was built doing what it does long before the need to get the data into Excel.
You are correct in that I could have modified the infopath code to save to SQL, but the fields in the form and on the forms library columns do change before and after the manager approves it. As such, adding some code to submit the infopath data to
SQL could have been used to write data into SQL server instead of leveraging SSIS/SQL Agent to do so. However the aformentioned workflow (see way up in the thread) does more than just send an email to the manager with a link. It also edits some fields in the
forms library column on that particular list item. By using SSIS, every two minutes they get the latest stuff from sharepoint into SQL without having to add code in the workflow or - if possible - on the infopath code that does a table update where item=abc.
It is common to get data from sharepoint into sql, regardless of whether or not it is a list or library (including infopath forms libraries). There is sample code on Codeplex that has been downloaded close to 40,000 times for this purpose which I'm sure
you are familiar with:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd365137(v=sql.100).aspx and
http://sqlsrvintegrationsrv.codeplex.com/releases/view/17652
I agree with you in so many ways on why they should not be using excel (or word) to present the information. Having InfoPath or a custom workflow magically convert the data presented on a specific view in a filled out InfoPath form to PDF and emailing it
would be wonderful, but it simply is not a possible solution.
Surely you're familiar with companies that have a word document that, say, a manager will email to someone as an attachment, then the employee prints out the word document, fills it out on paper and signs it with a pen (or fills out a fillable form, then
prints it), they then either fax it back or scan it and email it back to the manager, who then prints it out and hands it to a VP for a signature, etc. Yes, the process is very old-fashioned, but in health care, finance, and for legal compliance reasons,
some places simply have to do their manual processes the way they are. I've suggested and shown examples of how it can all be done electronically with digital signatures, etc., but their legal compliance officers and board members do not agree to this methodology.
As such, I work within the confines I am presented with, as I'm sure you've had to do as well.
I myself have worked for several Fortune 100 firms for many years (Microsoft, T-Mobile, etc), know what is possible. However the place I am at now, many of those options simply are not possible.
They use excel (and word) because that is the templates the legal department and third party companies they work with gives them to work with.
If you've used enterprise OCR systems (LaserFiche, OnBase, Hyperion, etc.) you would be familiar with the fact that in order to scan and index keywords from OCR cover pages, the document has to have fields in a certain location. While I have tried to
get the InfoPath form to line up properly, I cannot print out headers or footers and page breaks where the OCR system requires and expects them to be. What's more: when you print a filled out infopath form that loads browser side, as you know you get the browser-related
stuff with it. Although they're all on the same web browser (finally - IE8) and all on windows 7 and office 2010, I cannot control the fact that some users use large fonts and other accessability features to make their 21" screens run at 640x480 (exaggeration).
When you do this, it changes the margins in the print area, and more.
If I could take the data that is in infopath, merge it with an excel template, and export that to PDF, that could be an option. Not looking to buy some enterprise PDF generating product, though, and looking to do this as close to a no-code solution as possible.
Why we're suggesting PDF, perhaps we should be considering XPS, since we are staying with the Microsoft technology stack here.
Perhaps I should rephrase my original question like this: "I have 25 different documents that all need to be filled out automatically. Each document has different text on it, but the fields that need to be filled out on the documents are almost all
the same. I want to present one form for users to fill out, and once saved, to generate all 25 different documents. How would you do this?". While not entirely accurate, as not all 25 documents need to be created at once, only on demand with a click of a button
for each document, perhaps that is a better way of stating the need.
Thank you Clayton (and all you lurkers out there hoping to find out how we solve this).
