Expression box problem!

Hy, i have this problem: i add a column on table of type expression box because i need to calculate a value by a formula. This formula use value's from another column on the same table and a value contained on data store object.
the problem is that, a runtime, the formula is calculated only after that i doing a click on the row.
It's possibile to execute the formula when open the model e not after click the row on the table?
Thank's a lot.
Sincerely yours
Andrea Maraviglia

Hi ,
yes you can do it without using any action button.
Just put that formula in Expression filed in general tab of colum's control properties.
you told after clicking on some button its giving the out put that means you are created button with some action and given that action to this coulm field.
so just delete that action button and use above solution.
Regards,
Govindu

Capitalization in Infopath Expression Box

Hello,
I have a first and last name in a single expression box and wanted the first and last name to capitalize if typed in. I have already accomplished this using:
concat(substring(translate(Recipient Name, "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), 1, 1), substring(Recipient Name, 2, string-length(Recipient Name) - 1))
for the first word; and
concat(substring-before(Recipient Name, " "), " ", translate(substring(substring-after(Recipient Name, " "), 1, 1), "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz", "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"), substring(substring-after(Recipient
Name, " "), 2, string-length(Recipient Name) - 1))
for the second.
My question is: I would also like it if the user types in ALL CAPS, to just upper the first letter of the first word and the first letter of the last word with the rest lower case. My attempts to do this however have resulted in an infinite loop. Any ideas
or a way around this loop problem.
Many thanks!

This guy takes care of it with rules. First is a link to an example .xsn, and second is the forum thread it came from.

How can I extend an Airport Express in WLAN mode with an additional Airport Express box

I'm trying to extend the existing WLAN with an additonal Airport Express box. I read through a bunch of comment throughout the communities here but didn't find what I'm looking for.
My actual Installation consists:
A Time Capsule attached to the Internet router which set up my 1. WLAN range
This WLAN has been extended with an Airport Express BOX creating my extended 2. WLAN range
Now I intend the extend the 2nd WLAN of the Airport Express BOX with an additional Airport Express (creating a 3rd WLAN range) but don't find a way on how to set it up correctly.
The physical situation of the location dosen't allow me to add / replace cabeling (Ethernet or similar). If there is any chance I'd like to avoid power-line connections. And, I'm aware of the impacted bandwith on WLAN / WLAN extensions, but can deal with this.
Regards and thanks for any advice

Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements

You can use the '? :' operators in EL
e.g.. following code is genered by JHS for tables:
emptyText="#{bindings.MyVOTable.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}"

Help!

You'll need to find your iTunes folder. It's usually located on your main hard disk under My Documents/My Music/iTunes. Copy this whole folder to another hard drive (if possible) or burn it on a CD (probably will take more than one--depending upon how large your library is) or DVD. Once you have a good backup of your library, try downloading and reinstalling iTunes.

Expanding Box Problem

I have been working all morning to add a horizontal spry menu
bar to the menu_bar section of the Mother Earth Template (
http://www.webshapes.org/template/details/id/200702247034127204)
from Webshapes (
http://www.webshapes.org/)
Anyway, I had to do some crazy positioning to get the
submenus to lign up with the menus and now the submenus will not
display in IE because of an 'expanding box problem' All of the
problems are associated with either my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul" or
my "ul.MenuBarHorizontal ul ul"
Can anyone help me with this? I am a beginner with
Dreamweaver and have been having a lot of troubles with it.
Thanks.

Hello Tom, Is it a template related error message?

Expression Box Calculation Error

I have displayed the output of a query in a table. One of the columns in
the table shows 'Creation Date'. So I add an 'expression box' to the
table and enter the following expression in the Formatting Custom tab...
NSTR(DSUB(@Creation_Date,NOW(),'D'),'M')
The objective is to display the number of days lapsed since the record
was created on each row of the table. The system keeps returning -14018
or some other garbage on each row.
Please help.

The latest screenshot on this issue is attached. After adding DVAL and using DSTR to convert to the desired date format. The results are nonsensical and useless. System somehow is calculating negative values for dates beyond the current calender month.
In screenshot, STR1 is the Creation Date after some formatting and STR2 is the current date. ff is the column showing the difference in days between the two dates using the following command
DSUB(DVAL(@STR2),DVAL(@STR1),'D')

How do I set up Express box as addition to existing WIFI router?

Used to be able to do this when setting up the Express box, as I did years ago at home. But there's no option in the install process to enable this - which renders the product pretty useless.
Any ideas?
Cheers
Neil

Hi Bob
thanks for getting responding to my request.
When I originally set up Airport express network at home, the set up software gave a couple of options, to either be a stand alone wifi node, or be added to existing router - not necessariy an Apple one - I have a Netgear router at home. This was a decade or so ago.
We recently bought Airport Express box for the office as we want to stream music to it and the set uo software has changed in that it insists the Airport Express box is connected to a router with a cable - which defeats the point of a WIFI product.
So - my question was how to do this as it is insane that a wifi box cannot connect via wifi to a wifi router.
However we found a solution by using the Apple Remote app to set up the Airport Express box so that it has been added to the Netgear router we have in the office.
So - it turns out you can connect an Apple Airport express box wirelessly to a non Apple wireless router, but not with Apple Airport assistant utility - you have to use Remote on an iPhone.
This isn't how I'd configure the products, but hey, what do I know?
Cheers

Spry Vertical Submenu - Expanding Box Problem, white background

Hello everyone. I've recently incorporated a Spry Vertical Menu on my site for the first time and I'm experiencing problems with the submenu in IE7. (Things look fine in FF, Safari, and Opera.) A white box appears behind the text area (the "bios" and "contact us" links). And....In IE6 the entire menu bar becomes a horizontal mess.
I've come to learn that this is called an Expanding Box Problem but I don't know how to fix it. Perhaps this is seperate issue from the white panel issue altogether. I dunno. Can anyone be of assistance? I've been trying to solve this problem for days.

Your CSS Layout has a provision for clearing floats but I don't see it in your HTML markup.
Insert a float clearing <br> <p> or <hr> right above your footer division like so:

10.4.7 MLTE black box problem

Hi all
Anyone get a black MLTE box problem after the 10.4.7 upgrade?
The multilingual text engine in the open source game Aleph One after the upgrade to 10.4.7 - shows a black box in the chat area. It is not always a problem - about 30% of the games I start seem to have it.
Thanks

I just recieved an email from F-Secure, after I told them, that no attachments sent from Mail (after 10.4.7) go through to F-Secure / Windows users.
They have investigated the problem and reported this:
The attachments MIME header has the following fields: name and filename.
For some reason Mail removes the blank spaces from the name field but leaves the filename field untouched. These differences in the fields make F-Secure remove the attachment (alarm).
One "fix" is removing the blank spaces from the filename, for example File 1.pdf >> File1.pdf. But this in not easy computing. Everything works just fine with 10.4.6 and before, but 10.4.7 >> is causing the problems.

New MacBook Pro (Leopard) Airport Express Connection Problem

A Brand new 17" MBP Intel Core Duo 2.6 with latest Leopard OS and all updates installed unable to find (devices) ie: my existing older Airport Express (pre "n") - but my iPod Touch can.
Using the iPod I can connect to the Airport Express network and surf web easily. The MBP can't find it. So I know the connection is good and the problem is with the MBP.
I have tried to resolve various ways - all of which I've found here in the forums (except the last):
• Hard reset of AX (Several times - it actually showed up once in Airport Utility, but once I'd configured it, it could not be found after restart.)
• Connected Ethernet cable from AX to Laptop, Airport Utility found it this way once, I configured it and again, could not be found after restart. Tried again, Airport Utility could not find it.
• Removal of Network Prefs from Library and restart (they rebuild automatically)
• Safe start and restart
• Banged AX on table
Obviously I'm not alone here, and any other tips or things to try would be appreciated.
Thank you.

Just got off the phone with Mac Tech Support.
Here's the fix:
1. Connect your Airport Express to the Mac via an ethernet cable (after a hard reset)
2. In Airport Utility, double click the AX icon
3. Select "wireless"
4. Change channel from "automatic" to 10 (auto always sets to 13)
5. Go through the other panes and untick any boxes that have "over WAN" in them.
6. Name your network
7. Create and enter a network password
8. Update settings
9. Click on airport icon in your menu bar, select your network
10. Open Safari and see if you're online.
The problem I'm told has to do with so many other things (phones, microwaves etc.) hogging Ch. 13 space. If you still have issues, try a a different channel until you find one that works.
Also, you don't really need to rename your Device (AX) just your network so it's recognizable.
Good luck out there.

Can't get started with Airport Express; WPA2 problem?

Howdy,
I purchased an airport express about a month ago and am unable to get it set up, at all. My goal is what the setup guide calls "Using AirPort Express on an existing wireless network and stream music to powered speakers" (pg. 15 for those who have the book). The failure is that Airport Admin Utility doesn't recognize my third party wireless network.
My wireless hub is a linksys wireless-G cable gateway, and has been in use with multiple computers in the current setup for a couple years. It is setup with WPA2 personal, TKIP+AES encryption, and MAC access list enabled. SSID broadcast is currently enabled.
I am running OSX10.4.11 on the computer that I am using to attempt to configure this.
Following the instructions for "Connecting to an Existing Wireless Network" (pg 25), I am attempting to use Airport Utility. But there is no such program on my computer, so I am assuming that Airport Admin Utility is what the book refers to as Airport Utility. Airport Admin Utility presents a "window titled Select Base Station" but lists no base stations. I click "Other", provide the IP address and password, hit OK, and ... nothing happens. After 20 seconds the beachball appears, and after another 20 seconds it says "The airport admin utility was unable to read the configuration of the selected base station".
The IP address I used is the one that I enter into the web browser to access the linksys box (no secret here, 192.168.0.1). The password is the one used to access those settings (e.g., the linksys default is "admin", but I changed it). I know the IP address and password are correct, but I do not know if this is the IP address and password the program is asking for. I don't even know if I am running the correct program!
Thanks for any help,

Actually, I have it working now.
What I did after posting my last message was I connected the AE to my wireless hub, via ethernet cable. Then Airport Utility was able to find it, initialize it, and load new firmware into it ("it" being the AE). During initialization stage I told it it would be connecting wirelessly to an existing wireless network, and I gave it the network name, security options and password.
Then I told the wireless hub to allow this device (MAC address = Airport ID), disconnected the ethernet cable, power-cycled the wireless hub, and relaunched Airport Utility. It saw the AE, so I quit that. Then I launched iTunes and selected my AE as the speakers. It told me I needed to enable iTunes Music Sharing in my firewall. After doing that, iTunes is now playing through my external speakers. Exactly what I want.
Now I just need to go set this up on my laptop, with the AE and speakers on the other side of the house where I want 'em.
As a recap, I think I basically had two problems, both related to documentation. First, the program that the Setup Guide tells me to use wasn't in my Tiger applications folder, and I was fooled by a program with a similar name (in the past I have seen such name changes between what the setup guide said I should use and what I really needed to use). Second, it wasn't clear to me that, regardless of how I wanted to configure things for usage, I needed to establish a valid wired connection to the AE to initialize it. I think that could be made clearer in the book.
Thanks for everyone's help.
