Form tabbing problem

I have a Flash website with a contact form that has all the
standard input fields and one combo box with some selections
pertaining to how a viewer found the site. When I set the tab
order, if I inlcude the combo box, the tab function works fine
until it gets to the combo box and then it gets stuck there. It
won't go past the combo box. If I don't set the tab order to
include the combo box then everything works fine except that it
skips the combo box. However, I want the combo box to be included
in the tab order for the form.
Does anyone know why this happens or how to fix it?
Also, when tabbing, there is a green outline that appears
around the input field that has the focus when tabbing. Is there a
way to change the color of that outline?

Hi,
It just seems to happen in Preview only and not in Acrobat/Reader in Windows or Mac.

In Preview there is a warning beep, but I can't see where the focus is going or why it stops.

How can i fix it.....

Hi,
How you are creating the tabs. If the tabs you are mentioning is not current meaning then system will take default length and print randomely.
Meaning for example your tabs T1(5) chs and (T2) is for 10 characters left then first 12345 -- will be T1 abcdedfghij --T2. So try to position your tabs correctly and when give the T3 also in characters COUNT this also from left.
12345abcdefghij.

Why does my Numbers app in iPad mini doesn't have any INPUT FORM tab every time I press the " " sign?

This is my first time using the Numbers App which I thought could organize my research data collection and at the same time speed up the summary and analysis of the data as well. However, I can't start on with it because I'm stuck with how to find the INPUT FORMS tab anywhere else in the screen. The tutorials instructed to tap the "+" button but in my app, after tapping the symbol it only adds new sheet, it doesn't show the "new sheet, new form" selection. I'm really confused and I want to know how to get it right. Please help me if I needed something to correct this

Hey lilianville!
I have an article here that seems to explain what you are trying to achieve:
Numbers for iOS (iPad): Enter data into a table cell

Specifically, these are the steps that will help you complete your desired goal:
Note that it seems as if you would have to have a table created in order to enter forms as you desire. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!

Why are my form tabs changing order?

I am manually setting form fill tabs in a multi-page document and each time I set a page and save, one of the previous pages reverts to the default order. Any idea why this is happening or how to prevent it?

I haven't had a chance to finalize it, but I posted the of draft below. I much prefer Acrobat over LiveCycle Designer for forms that don't need to be dynamic, which is probably more than 90% of the forms I work with.
With the release of Acrobat 11, Adobe introduced a number of keyboard accelerators that are available only in form editing mode. Since many are not included in Acrobat documentation, I decided to list them here. To enable keyboard accelerators, select the following user preference: Edit [Acrobat] > Preferences > General > Use single-key accelerators to access tools

How add Custom Collection Form Tab in Table properties

Hi,
Request :
We would like to add a new tab on the table properties of a physical model.
Example
Explanation :
If we have a table with the following form: CREATE TABLE_1 (COL1 CHAR (10), COL2 NUMBER (6) COL3 VARCHAR2 (20));
We would like that the new tab to be similar to the one above.
This tab should have for each vertical column - the table columns names.
This tab should be displayed only if the table has a stereotype "LOV" for "List Of Values"
For each row in the screen above we will write the values of each table records.
Objective :
When we Generate Database the following SQL command must be generated : INSERT INTO TABLE_1 (COL1, COL2, COL3) VALUES ('', '', '');
We thought to add this command in the .XDB file (DBMS definition file) at table-level category => DBMS :: Script \ Objects \ Table \ Create
and using variables %TABLE% and %TABLDEFN%. But the TABLDEFN variable provides column names and types, "COL1 CHAR (10), COL2 NUMBER (6) COL3 VARCHAR2 (20)." Given that this variable is not very interesting we have achieve our goal with an extension (XEM). In fact we are able to generate an extension that will give us the following SQL command: insert into TABLE_1 (COL1, COL2, COL3) values ('', '', ''); following the creation of the CREATE TABLE statement.
To complete with value we have need our custom form tab.

Hi Benoit,
To get a tab with a list, you need object to fill it. In your case, you need to define (in your xem or xdb) a new extended sub-object SAM (stereotype as metaclass) with several attributes (one per column COL1, COL2, ...) -- It could be dynamically defined but you may enter the dark side of xem enhancement -- let's start with the three extended attributes.
With the new SAM, you can create an extended composition on your table, targeting the new SAM. In the composition definition, set the columns you want to display (COL1, COL2, COL3 + whatever you want)
=> You then will have your new tab with COL1, COL2 and COL3 columns
Once done, you can enter values within your tab.
How to add it in the generation ?
In the XEM, create the statement in a template ("filldatatable") under Table metaclass that iterate on composition and use
<<
.set_value(TablCode, "%Code%")
.set_value(ColnList, "")
.foreach_item(Columns)
.set_value(ColnList, "[%ColnList%?%ColnList%, :%ColnList%]%Code%")
.next("")
.foreach_item(DataValues)
insert into %TablCode% (%ColnList%) values(%insertdata%)
.next(";\n")
>>
-- This assume your table has three columns !!! (you can enhance it to fit your needs)
The %insertdata% is a template from your extended sub-object filled with
<<
%.q:COL1%, %.q:COL2%, %.q:COL3%
>>
In order to include it in your sql-generation you have to instruct PowerDesigner to do so. You use the AfterCreate item that would add some sql after the generation:
(.// is a comment)
<<
.// Because the scope is limited to active XDB, we need to instantiate a vbscript to reach the xem definitions.
.// If the extension is embedded into current xem, a simple call to template would have been enough.
.vbscript()
ScriptResult = ActiveSelection.Item(0).EvaluateTextFor("%filldatatable%", "FillDataTable")
.endvbscript()
>>
At the end, you then have this in data
And this in preview
I attached the xem I made for example (change .txt to .xem)

Alignment with Tabs Problem

Hi friends,
i have an CRM application where the item alignment and the tabs is creating a problem for me.
Instead of me to elaborate, i can show you in my page in apex.oracle.com, so that you can understand my problem clearly in the page itself. These are the login credentials
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex
Workspace: mini_ws
username: [email protected]
password: mini4i
Over there in the application 45387(application name: Customer Relationship Mgmt)
Under Page 2(page name: Accounts). U can see that the i couldn't able to align the following three items to the right side position of the region along with other items.
<li> sic code
<li> shipping country
<li> upsell opportunity
i dont know why it is not arranging like the other items(as the other items are arranged properly).
Another Problem is the tab problem in that page. I have following two tabs
<li>Accounts(will navigate to the page 2)
<li>Contacts(will navigate to the page1)
There is no any problem with the tab "Accounts" as it is correctly navigating to the page 2. But the problem persist with the "Contacts" tab.
As the "Contacts" tab is navigating to the page 1, but the"Accounts" tab is not visible in the page 1 and it is entirely getting disappearing. i dont know why it is happening.
Generally for the tabs, if we navigate to the corresponding page by pressing the corresponding tabs means, the other tab has to be visible inorder to navigate to the other page.
But in my case, if i pressed the "Contacts" tab means the "Accounts" tab is getting disappearing. I think that you can able to get my problem clearly in the example.
What is the tab issue over here and also about the alignment issue.
Thanks for your support friends.
Regards,
Mini

Form printing problem

Hi,
I have used InDesign CS6 to create a user-fillable form and brought into Acrobat X Pro to implement field tab orders, etc.
It's a basic form with a couple of radio button options, a pulldown menu, editable text fields and a Print button.
Everything exports correctly from IDCS6, opens and operates as it should in Acrobat but when I distribute the form the user can not input into the fields nor can they print.
I've actually tested on a separate computer and when I click the print button all that outputs is a blank page (no information).
I am using Mac 10.7.4.
Thanks for any information!

Hi,
I also faced the same problem.
Problem which I have faced mentioning below
The gross amount is not appearing for output type ZH00 for Language French and German for a particular printer WPL4 where as it is appearing for other printers (e.g: W1D6)
Previously the code is like this so it was not printed.
,,,,<B> Total gross amount &KOMK-FKWRT&</> ,,<B>
I have removed the space after Total gross amount and kept ,,,, in the place of space.
,,<B> Total gross amount,,,,&KOMK-FKWRT&</>
Follow the same procedure it will solve your problem.
Reward points if useful.
Thanks & Regards,

Using a MAC to fill out PC Created PDF forms creating problems

We have created a number of forms using LiveCycle to be filled out by clients. They include submit buttons that send the form back as a PDF (rather than a data file). The forms were then opened in Acrobat 8 Professional and usage rights enabled to allow the clients to save a copy of the completed form.
They work great...unless the client is using a MAC. We have encountered the following problems with MAC filled forms:
1) client entered data is present but only visible when the field is clicked on
2) the Print and Submit by E-mail buttons do not work for MAC users
3) the tabbing order is inconsistent
Any ideas of ways we can make our forms more compatible for MAC users??
Many Thanks!

Hi Rod,
Sorry I replied a few days ago, but for some reason it didn't seem to get added to the thread. So, here we go again ...
The "fix field" script worked great for me. So, we have been using that solution when needed. Unfortunately, I am not enough of an expert on these things to provide an intelligent answer as to why it may not be working for you.
But, it also became evident from dialogue and testing that the issue only occurs when recipients use MAC Preview to complete the forms. So, on some forms I have just added a note saying - MAC Users: Please complete the form using Adobe Reader. As this is, of course, free software, which most people already have installed on their computer, this seems to prevent the problem from occurring as well.
Hope that is at least a little bit helpful.

Forms installation problem - how do I create a new default Oracle home?

I am new to Oracle so please forgive my utter ignorance. My impression of Oracle because of how an installation
has to be done is taking a nosedive. I thought Microsoft was bad with all the re-booting but the explanation that I
read in Anubhav Seth's post about installing Dev 6i before 8i and the suggestion (not a requirement) to format the
harddisk and reinstall Windows just leaves me with my jaw hanging open. I'm having a little trouble swallowing that
one.
Here's my situation... I'm running 8i at home and I am using it for the Oracle courses that I am taking at a local
university. So 8i with its SQL*Plus has been all I have needed to date. Now we have a project to do that involves forms.
So I go to the OTN page for downloads and downloaded file 6irel2nt.exe which is 264 MB in size. This file, I assume,
has forms in it -- what else I don't know because things are not explained all that well on the web site or I don't know
where to look (which implies poor organization of the web pages).
I run the 6irel2nt.exe file and end up with 11,128 new files on my computer. That's nice. I run the setup file and a step or
two into it it complains that my 'Ora81' home is already being used and that I need to install it into another Oracle Home.
Now I'm trying to find out how I create another Oracle Home. I perform a search in GOOGLE on "creat default Oracle
home" and basically get nowhere. My $50+ "Oracle 8i A Beginner's Guide" from Oracle Press mentions Oracle Home
on one page (pg. 170) but is completely useless in this case. My $184 worth of Oracle University manuals (which
are really PowerPoint slides) is useless too. My next step will be to comb through the FAQs. All this because I cannot
believe that I have to totally uninstall one product to get another to install and then reinstall the first one. That is INSANE!
If I have gone way off track please feel free to blast me but if this is true then all I can say is that the folks at Oracle need
a lesson in KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)! Computers and computer software are supposed to make our lives simpler
not complicate the holy hell out of them. I'll get off my soapbox now. Sorry about the whining.

I ended up uninstalling 8i and then I installed Dev 6i (Forms) and then I reinstalled 8i. I had some problems
installing Dev 6i because of this error "path.vrf(86): Unbound variable 'path_too_long_prompt'". Right after this error
appears I get a dialog that states, "The Oracle Installer cannot update the system path variable to %new_path%
because it is too long. Please restrict your system path to 127 characters and make sure D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin
is included in your path."
The path D:\Oracle\OraWin95 was what I set up for this installation.
What I did to work around this problem was this...
(1) Go to Start - Accessories - System Tools - System Information.
(2) Click on the Tools menu
(3) Select System Configuration Utility
(4) Select the Autoexec.bat tab
(5) I added D:\Oracle\OraWin95\bin to my PATH variable and unchecked the checkbox next to one of the several
lines that I have that build my PATH variable. (I have several PATH lines that simply add a path to the system
variable %path%). After the installation is complete you can go back and turn back on the paths that you had disabled.
After installing 8i I did have a problem connecting to the database. I got this error:
Error: ORA-01034 Oracle not available
I believe this happened because I had forgotten to turn back on some of my PATH information that I mentioned
earlier. After checking one of my PATH variables and rebooting, this problem disappeared.
When reinstalling 8i and when the installation asks for an SID and you enter the SID you had used in the original
installation you may get a notice that says the SID already exists. I think this happens because the uninstall does not
clean up the registry totally, so I entered a different one. Later on, after the installation has been completed and you
are connecting to your database, you will be prompted to select an SID -- just make sure that you select the SID from
the latest installation.
I should've mentioned first that in preparing for this whole ridiculous exercise I created a directory under my Oracle
directory that I was going to use as the new 'Oracle home.' So I guess that's all one has to do to create a new Oracle
home -- just have another directory ready to install 'stuff' into.
All in all, this a pretty asinine exercise. Oracle really needs to fix this mess. I honestly thought Microsoft was bad but
this takes the cake. I wonder if SQL Server is this screwed up.

11g Forms Tab-Page Navigation

I am using Forms 11g on Solaris.
A main navigator form opens another form which has a content canvas, tab-page canvas and (3) stacked canvases.
The problem I am having is with tab-page navigation.     CTRL+TAB ( next ) and CTRL+SHIFT+TAB ( previous )
As long as I do not initiate navigation from an item on a stacked canvas, navigation is as expected ( between tab pages only ).
However, navigating from an item within a stacked canvas causes navigation to the parent form.
Repeating the tab navigation keys from the parent form returns to the called form.
Note that both key-combinations simply toggle back and forth.
I have found no documentation on tab-page navigation so any help / insight is greatly appreciated !
Mike

Hi Soofi !
Changing block order in the called form does not affect the navigation between tab pages.
Note in my question that the resulting undesired navigation is to and from the calling form ( which only has one block ).
Navigation between items and blocks works as expected.
To reiterate -
     The only navigation that fails is when I attempt to CTRL+TAB or CTRL+SHIFT+TAB to another tab page from within an item on a stacked canvas.
     Attempting this navigation results in moving the cursor focus to the calling form.
     Repeating the attempt from the calling form moves back to the called form.
     None of your methods mention navigation between forms .
Thanks for your interest.
