Create a form Preliminary screen

Hello,
I want to show the user a preliminary instructions screen/page before he is see my form.
I want to make sure that the user see/read the pre-instructions screen/page.
How can I make such test in my form?
Thanks,
Yair

You could have the rest of your form hidden in docReady and then put a button/radio buttons at the end of your instruction page which the user clicks to make the rest of the form visible.

Creating Two forms

I created two forms in Screen painter and I'm stock with the code behind in VB.NET. I don't how to call the 2nd form.
My 1st form is for my Main and in this form it has a button save. I want that when I press Save the 2nd form will show. How can I do that?
Thank you.

Well since you have your two SRF Files, you can try this code...
oXmlDoc = New Xml.XmlDocument
oXmlDoc.Load(sStartUpPath & sSRFFilename)
Dim creationPackage As SAPbouiCOM.FormCreationParams
creationPackage = gkSap.mwuiApp.CreateObject(SAPbouiCOM.BoCreatableObjectType.cot_FormCreationParams)
creationPackage.XmlData = oXmlDoc.InnerXml
ReturnForm= gkSap.mwuiApp.Forms.AddEx(creationPackage)
ReturnForm.Visible = True
You basicly load the XML File to the creation package und the set it to visible. All the load functions are an
other story. Hope this helps.

Creating fillable forms with Live Cycle that can be emailed, saved, printed, etc. by anyone!

So I started using livecycle because the forms one can make are astounding, its a great program except for sending the forms out to be filled in especially to those only with reader. I've looked over a lot of past discussions and the answers seemed too complicated. Here is a workaround for not so computer savy folks like myself.
First, create your form, use everything the software has to offer to make your form exactly like you want and yes you can use the "submit by email button" that's what it's for.
Second, once the form is complete one seemingly complicated step to fix the "attach as pdf instead of xml" if your form keeps attaching as "xml" if it already attaches as "pdf" then skip the rest of the "second step"
     go to the top and click the "view" menu, then select "xml source"
     then go back to top and click the "edit" menu then select "find"
     type "xml" without the quotations and keep clicking "find next" until you see the "submit" line (eg. <submit format="xml")
     change the "xml" to "pdf"then go back to the "design view column" if you get a "parts of this or that cannot be whatever" message just click ok or ignore
Third, assumming you used the "submit by email" button like you should be the find that button and click the center somewhere, too the right a "field" box comes up
     enter your own email address, you can enter an stock email subject to or leave it blank
     also, a bit further down it says "presence" then "visible" I like to change "visible" to "visible (screen only)" this way it does not show on the printed version. That is one of the things i like the most about this program, you can put text boxes, signature boxes, any kind of
          box and make it visible, visible only on print, only on screen, etc. you just have to play around. It's nice to put a large text box with instructions for how the person should fill out and what to do that helps them and doesn't show up on print.
Ok, the above is a lot of words but if you print it out and follow step by step you'll see how easy it is and after a couple runs you won't have to look at your cheat sheet again.
Fourth, So, it was easy to figure out how to make a form the frustrating part was sending it out to be filled in save, printed whatever then sent back to me (now you). the problem is, the form has to be distributed to be approved so to speak. If it is just for one person that is no big
     deal, just first click "file" "save as" give it a name it reverts into adobe pro and asks how you would like to distribute, follow the instructions you send it to whomever you like they fill it out and submit it back because your email address is linked to the "submit as
     email" button. But what if its just a form you want on the company share drive anyone can open fill out, save, send to you or send to someone else, that's where it's tricky.
Fifth, Distributing to yourself so you can approve the form for world wide dissemination.
     Same procedure as above for the single recipient but instead of sending to someone else you send it back to yourself by entering your own email address again when it asks "how would you like to distribute your form--same as above"
     click "send now via email" enter your address they will return it to (but it's not they this time its really yourself)...follow the instructions, specifiy a generic folder that will collect data (you can delete later, you don't have to collect data unless you want)
     put in your email address as the recipient. change the stock email subject and message if you'd like, then click done, it will email you the form. close out the live cycle and adobe programs and go to your inbox (may take a min)
Sixth, open your attachment.(no remember you submitted the form to yourself but think of yourself as someone else like a customer) when the form is open you can enter stock fields if you like or do nothing...click the submit by email button, follow the instructions and s
     send it back to yourself again (don't get confused...it's really you as the customer sending back to yourself as the owner of the form) if you are a criminal think of it as like "laundering money through a bank" you are laundering the form through your own email system
     close out the form and go to your inbox again an open the returned form. now when you open it there is something new. there is a box that says "this file is a completed form (even though you didn't enter any data---it's a laundered form now) and leave it on the
     "add to existing data set" which is the one you created earlier in the generic folder....click "ok", now the form changes once again, there is a new look to the top, don't worry about it just go to the top right of the form and click on "options" then "save file as" give it
     a name again and remember where you saved it to. then close adobe and say yes when it asks you if "you want to save changes to your data set"....say yes!!
7th, forget the data set, no longer is important...find the form you saved and open it. go to the top and click the "advanced" button then "enable user rights in adobe reader" then click "save now" this is the final form so name it appropriately and place it where you want
     people to find it, they can now open, fill out, print, save as, email, whatever. The only downside is if they use the submit by email it automatically defaults to your email but when their email client opens they can delete your address and put someone else if they want.
thats it...lots of words but it really is easy after you do it a couple of time. the final downside, if the final form works but you decide to change anything on it with LiveCycle, you have to go back through all the steps or it will tell whoever opens it in reader that the original
     has change and they cannot do anything with it, but it's ok, make your changes or improvement, by now you are an expert at laundering live cycle forms, take you 5 min, no worries!
Happy Laundering!!

"Error When Creating the form" in "Salary Statement"-Benefits and Payments

hi
When I enter the option "Salary Statement" (in "Benefits and Payment") shows me the error "Error When Creating the form"
http://img571.imageshack.us/img571/9986/payroll1.jpg (in "Salary Statement")
http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3007/payroll2.jpg (My Error - "Error When Creating the form")
but, my sap system has Payroll customized, check it entered this tcode RPCEDTE0 I also put the appropriate values to obtain a good result.
http://img716.imageshack.us/img716/2544/payroll5.jpg (screen RPCEDTE0)
http://img541.imageshack.us/img541/1593/payroll6.jpg (result RPCEDTE0, Remuneration Statement correctly)
What I must customize addition to Payroll(back-end) to run this option of "Salary Statement"?
I hope for posts and helps,
Ivan

hi Sandip
I clear the temporary files, but the error persist.
I think so, my error is because otherwise customizing the salary statement is seen in ERP (Back-End) but I can not see through the sap portal (Error: Salary Statement http://img153.imageshack.us/img153/3007/payroll2.jpg)
thanks for your post and helps,
Ivan

I want to be able to fill out the form and it place itself into Sheet 1 without changing everytime. I can index the array from the form, but it changes everytime.

You think it would be the other way around.
Just speculation, but forms probably came to iOS first because of likely use for data entry in the field that syncs back to the Mac. On a small screen with a touch interface, forms make inputing values easier.
On the Mac, with its bigger screen, typing directly into a data table often works well enough.

How to create a form for registration available to users that aren't logged

Hi all,
I am new to IDM.
I have a task in that I have to create a form that can be accessed from the login screen for users which will enable the user to register. The user should register in the lighthouse database.
Is that possible? Where should I find documentation for this?
Thank you.

Thank for your reply.
But being new to this I don't know where to find this topic. Could you please point me in the right direction.

Wrong payer value while creating PRO FORMA invoice for multiple delivery

Hi experts,
I am trying to create PRO FORMA Invoice for multiple deliveries thru VF01.
The problem here is the payer value is copied as the value of payer for the first delivery to all invoices. All other fields are picked up properly.
Please help me to idenify the problem. Also if I create the invoices thru VF04 the invoices the created with correct payer.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Ankur,
Thanx for the input.
Right now we have customized routine 909 for header level and std. routine 004 for item level.
Code for routine 909 is

SY-SUBRC = 0.
Fakturasperre
IF LIKP-FAKSK NE SPACE.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM TVFSP WHERE FAKSP = LIKP-FAKSK
AND FKART = TVFK-FKART.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
PERFORM VBFS_HINZUFUEGEN USING '000000' '014' SPACE SPACE SPACE.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
EXIT.
ENDIF.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDIF.
break-point.
SELECT * FROM VBFA WHERE VBELV = LIKP-VBELN.
IF VBFA-VBTYP_N = 'U' .

SPACE SPACE.
SY-SUBRC = 4.
Insert + Unicode/Upgrade Project
STOP.
LEAVE SCREEN.
Insert - Unicode/Upgrade Project
ENDIF.
ENDSELECT.
ENDFORM.
can u please check n confirm if the wrong value is coming due to this code?
Thank in advance.

How 2 calculate time it will take to create a Form

Hello,
I am an Oracle Forms developer with 4 years of experience in developing applications using Oracle Forms & Reports (i.e. 10g Forms). Now, for the 1st time, I have been assigned to lead a project to build a Guest House Management System. My problem is that I have been asked to prepare a project plan and for that I have to give the time it takes to develop the forms and reports.
Problem is, I have no idea of how long each form and report is going to take. So, my questions to the experts who have lead teams to develop forms applications is, “How do you calculate the time it takes to complete a form and report”? How do you answer this question if you were leading the project (as technical lead) and your PM asked you this question? Do you do “Function Point Analysis”?
Do you have metrics? Like, this type of form will take this amount of time...
Can you share them if possible?
We of course don't have metrics as to times taken to develop past forms (& reports), so in this case, how can we get about getting even a “rough idea” of the time it takes to develop the forms (& reports)?
Problem is, you cannot say a form is low, medium or high in complexity just by looking at the screens since you can have a form with only 2 or 3 items, but has 100s of lines of PL/SQL code, in the form and in the DB (as stored procedures).
We have the System Design Document (SDS) with all the forms designed using MS Visio. So, the exact look of the form will be drawn using MS Visio diagrams. For each form, we also have the processing that should happen for each item, described in English. For example, if a form has a “process” button, we have what the processing should be, in pseudo code style English.
So, how do you get about this?? Are there any guidelines anybody can give us (because there are lots of other Forms developers who are facing this same problem)? Can we assume that it will take a fixed amount of time to create LOVs, alerts, windows, etc.???
What is the biggest problem is finding the time it takes to create a form or report?
Thanks in advance

There are no hard and fast rules on this and it always depends on factors unique to each project. I can share with you how I would do it, should my boss ask for such an estimate. I assume you already planned for the requirements gathering, design, testing and implementation and here only focus on estimating the development work of forms/reports.
What is the baseline effort for new programs (forms, reports, stored procedures) ?
Break it down into: simple (2 days), moderate (5 days), and complex (10 days). Assuming your database is normalized, you can use the number of tables involved as a rough gauge of complexity to help you classify them: simple: 0-3 tables, moderate: 4-9 tables, complex: 10 or more tables. By estimating the number of forms/reports/stored procedures you will need to complete the project you have a baseline estimate. If there are any particularly complex forms/reports, those are costed individually.
How skilled is the development team with the technologies you have to use?
If the team is composed of new developers that is good for an additional 10% to 25% extra effort.
How reliable are the requirements?
Are the requirements available, documented and approved ? Is there a project scope already defined? Here I am considering the likelihood that significant portions of the system will need redesign / rework due to requirements change. Depending on the answer (and to a certain extent experience and gut feel), I may add 10% to 30% to the estimate.
Some other considerations: In my shop, the practice is to only use the forms programs as the front-end UI and keep complex processing in the database as PL/SQL stored procedures (functions, procedures, packages) rather than embedded into the forms and reports. It will make complex processing logic easier to test and modify. For one thing, not having to resort to using the forms debugger is already a plus.
....and then once somebody in the management stratosphere looks at the effort estimate and decides its too much and cuts it by half and tells you the good news later that he has already committed you to the slashed effort.

I am trying to create a form in acrobat pro 8 and it can't be filled in in reader 9

When I open the form in reader, it says it is a pdf/a file.and the form fields do not show up unless I go to edit/preferences in reader and tell it to never view documents in pfd/a mode. I am putting this document on my website for users to fill out, and don't want them to have to do that. How do I create the form that is not a pdf/a document? I have been messing around with this for a day and have not been successfull. I have an old document from last year that apparently is not a pdf/a document and it works fine. I cannot make this year's document open correctly in reader 9. http://www.houseofsweden.us/docs/DecNightsSignUps2009.pdf This is a very simple form created from a word document.

When originally creating the pdf, you would need to choose another pdf conversion setting. In Word if you use the pdf menu, change your settings there: Adobe PDF > Change Conversion Settings. I would use High Quality Print instead. If you use the File > Print method, click the Properties button next to the Adobe PDF printer selection.
For your already created form, you can change the file so your users will not encounter issues. In Acrobat 9, which hopefully is similar in process to 8: Advanced > Preflight > Profile tab > PDF/A compliance > Remove PDF/A information.(You'll have to unsecure your form first).
You can read about PDF/A files in the Help.

Error when create adobe form

Hi,
When i created adobe form, i found an error :
Could not start Layout Designer (see long text)
Message no. FPUIFB086
Diagnosis
The forms design tool for developing the form layout could not be started; either it is not installed or there are errors in the installation.
Procedure
Make sure that you have the forms design tool installed on your desktop (the tool is part of the SAPGUI installation).
Also read SAP Note 801524.
In my computer Adobe Life Cycle Designer 8.0 installed, why it happen?
Please help me.
Thank you.
regards,
Ferry

Good to know — there is no such application as "Adobe XI".
"Adobe" is the name of the company.
"XI" is indicative of the use of either Acrobat XI or Reader XI.
Neither Acrobat XI Pro (for which Adobe provides a free, fully functional 30-day trial) nor Adobe Reader XI (the free to download and use PDF viewer that Adobe provides) have an "Export PDF" entry under "File".
"Export PDF" only is present in Adobe Reader XI over on the right on the "Tools" panel.
The "Tools" panel provides a way for a user of Adobe Reader XI to connect to various By Subscription online services (gotta pay eh).
Export PDF is one of these. A subscription lets you send a PDF file to the online internet service (aka "cloud" service). The service then exports to a supported file format (Word / Excel / ...) and the user selects / directs where the output file is to be saved on the user's local machine.
Of course to use any of the online subscription services one must have an active (paid up in full) subscription to the service.
So ---- As described the puzzle pieces don't fit eh.
What specific Adobe (the company) applications are you using?
Acrobat XI Pro? Adobe Reader XI? Both?
Be well....

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

I created a form, I want the email notices to go to several people. Why is this so difficult? It seems like they have to be a co-author/reader or something? I don't get it

This is crazy! I paid for this service to make it easier to create forms for a company that has had several acquisitions all over the globe. This was supposed to make it easy to create forms hosted on adobe so no matter what happens on all their servers, we would be safe using this forms service until we can integrate all acquisitions and build a permanent web site on a single server. Now I find out that even this is a major issue sending emails to team members, many I have never met so making them a collaborator or even setting up forwarded emails is not something I wanted to do. This service was advertised as simple and easily send notifications to many people. I am now frustrated and thinking this was a waste of money! Why is it like that?

I want to create a form in IWeb can you help?

I need to create a form page in Iweb on my website for visitors to complete and submit back to me.
A Club membership application form.
Anyone able to help??

There are online form sites that you can use like JotForm, Wufoo, etc. Jotform creates some very nice looking forms which you can embed into an iWeb page. The free package gives you 100 submissions per month and 10 SSL secure submissions per month. Over those numbers you will need to pay a monthly fee.
Here are examples of Jotform and Wufoo forms: Embedding Forms
Or you can create your own Form Action form which uses the visitor's own email client to send the information. This is not best integrated method to obtain the information. An example of this type of form is also on the page linked to above.

On a tabbed panel, I am trying to create a form, but...

On a tabbed panel I am trying to create a form, but I am having a couple of issues.
The coding on my form is yellow - I can't figure out what is wrong. Also, I can't see the tab on the browser, only in live view. I haven't loaded it to my site as I haven't finished it yet. I don't want to go any further, until I solve the issues I have now. Any ideas?
thanks,

Gramps, you are always coming to my rescue.
Okay, I loaded the page under a different name http://abilityaxis.com/test.html. Viewing the source code doesn't show the yellow.
For demonstration purposes I copied a small amount of the text and changed the colour of what is yellow in Dreamweaver to this pinkish colour (I tried yellow but you couldn't read it)
        <form id="registrationForm" name="registrationForm1" method="post" action="">
          <fieldset>
              <legend>Contact Information</legend>
              <span id="sprytextfield1">
                <label>Name <span class="inforequired">*</span><br />
                  <input type="text" name="name" id="name" />
                  <br />
               </label>
                <span class="textfieldRequiredMsg">value is required.</span><span class="textfieldMinCharsMsg">Minimum number of characters not met.</span><span class="textfieldMaxCharsMsg">Exceeded maximum number of characters.</span></span> <span id="sprytextfield2">
                 <label for="businessname">(Business or Organization) Name<br />
                </label>
                <input type="text" name="businessname" id="businessname" />
It basically goes all the way through the form.
Any advice?
thanks,
deb
