How can I make a Required Field give a text window if not completed?

My question is simple but I cannot find any way to do this. I need to set a field on a form I created to do 1 of 2 things:
1. Not allow you to save the Document until the required text box has information added to it
and or
2. Have a window's style prompt or text box appear and say "THIS FIELD NEEDS TO BE COMPLETED BEFOR CONTINUING"
I have been told this isn’t hard to do but I have poured many man hours into this personally and have come to the conclusion I am possibly border line retarded or just do not comprehend how to complete this task. If this needs to be done in Java Script I would need a very good walk through or at least pointed to an idiot proof tutorial that I can read and complete this task.
Any and all help would be appreciated.
Thank You,
PTM

thanks for the help again,
its still not working, I have the following:
insert is set to yes
update is set to NO
update if null only is set to NO
Lock record is set to NO.
I tried setting insert to No, but when the user reaches the form its says "field is protected against update."
what I want ?
when the user reaches the form, the user has to perform a Ctrl - L to populate the list of values.
After the user selects from the list of values, I want the field to be un-editable in the text field.
thanks,

How can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order

Hi Friends,
can any one help me for the following requirement
how can i make PO number field as a mandatery in sales order
Thanks

Hi
You have to include the "Purchase Order" field in the Incompletion list.
Purchase order field is a Header data in the Sales order.
So you have to create an Incompletion Procedure for Sales document Header.
There include the field "Purchase order" field, assign the "Status group" to it.
You may activate the error/warning check box.
Assign the Incompletion Procedure to your Sales document type.
Go to Sales document type VOV8 and activate the "Incompletion message" field so that without entering PO number you can not proceed.
Now whenever you will create an order (using the order type where you have assigned the procedure), you have to fill up the PO field or else you can proceed.

How can I make sure that in RAM our sql server is not facing any mermory crunch issue?

The SQL server process always show RAM is highly used while its a default behaviour of sql server.

The best way to make sure you are not facing memory pressure is to use perfmon counters and monitor various memory counters
For SQL Server 2005 - 2008 r2 use below counters
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Buffer Cache hit ratio(BCHR): IIf your BCHR is high 90 to 100 Then it points to fact that You don't have memory pressure. Keep in mind that suppose somebody runs a query which request large amount of pages in that
case momentarily BCHR might come down to 60 or 70 may be less but that does not means it is a memory pressure it means your query requires large memory and will take it. After that query completes you will see BCHR risiing again
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Page Life Expectancy(PLE): PLE shows for how long page remain in buffer pool. The longer it stays the better it is. Its common misconception to take 300 as a baseline for PLE. But it is not,I read it from
Jonathan Kehayias book( troubleshooting SQL Server) that this value was baseline when SQL Server was of 2000 version and max RAM one could see was from 4-6 G. Now with 200G or RAM coming into picture this value is not correct. He also gave the formula( tentative)
how to calculate it. Take the base counter value of 300 presented by most resources, and then determine a multiple of this value based on the configured buffer cache size, which is the 'max server memory' sp_ configure option in SQL Server, divided by 4 GB.
So, for a server with 32 GB allocated to the buffer pool, the PLE value should be at least (32/4)*300 = 2400. So far this has done good to me so I would recommend you to use it.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--CheckpointPages/sec: Checkpoint pages /sec counter is important to know about memory pressure because if buffer cache is low then lots of new pages needs to be brought into and flushed out from buffer pool,
due to load checkpoint's work will increase and will start flushing out dirty pages very frequently. If this counter is high then your SQL Server buffer pool is not able to cope up with requests coming and we need to increase it by increasing buffer pool memory
or by increasing physical RAM and then making adequate changes in Buffer pool size. Technically this value should be low if you are looking at line graph in perfmon this value should always touch base for stable system.
SQLServer:Buffer Manager--Freepages: This value should not be less you always want to see high value for it.
SQLServer:Memory Manager--Memory Grants Pending: If you see
memory grants pending in buffer pool your server is facing SQL Server memory crunch and increasing memory would be a good idea. For memory grants please read this article:
SQLServer:memory Manager--Target Server Memory: This is amount of memory SQL Server is trying to acquire.
SQLServer:memory Manager--Total Server memory This is current memory SQL Server has acquired.
8. Free List Stalls/sec – Number of requests per second that had to wait for a free page
9. Free Pages – Total number of pages on all free lists (free lists track all of the pages in the buffer pool that are not currently allocate to a data page, and are therefore available for usage immediately)
NOTE: If you have NUMA system don't use PLE to monitor memory condition it wont give correct value
From 2012 Onwards
Memory management has become easy from 2012 onwards as
Max server memory also allocated memory for requests which require memory >8KB
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Free Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Target Server Memory (KB)
SQLServer:Memory Manager:Total Server Memory (KB)
For NUMA system its also wort monitoring each node.
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Total Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Target Node Memory
(KB)
Object - SQLServer:Memory Node:Free Node Memory
(KB)
Ideally if target server memory is less than or equal to total server memory there wont be memory pressure if target is > total it does not always means its memory pressure
BCHR would also give you good idea about memory pressure
If memory grants pending is frequently non zero there is memory pressure

I have to reinstall Mail as it's not working well. How can I make a back up of my emails so as not to lose them all?

I have to reinstall Mail as it's not working well. How can I make a back up of my emails so as not to lose them all?

Thank you for your time Woody. Recently the Mac seems to freeze a lot, seemingly due to a problem with the airport, especially if the computer is inactive for anything more than a few minutes. Then yesterday I suddenly couldn't send or receive messages so I got in touch with my server and they reconfigured the mail account. I can now receive messages but can't send them, always getting a timed out message when I try to send an email. I phoned the server again and they said it must be a problem with Mail as we tried sending a message online from the server's webpage and it worked fine, so they suggested I reinstall Mail. So hence my original question. Sorry for the rambling! I'm not very computer minded.

How can I make multi partitions in my computer with Windows 7??

How can I make multi partitions in my MakBook with Windows 7??

From what I read you can't. If you used Boot Camp to partition the Macintosh hard drive so you could install Win 7 on a boot camp partition you are locked into that one partition.
If you try to RE-partition that BC partition Win 7 won't boot, and IIRC there is a possibility of OS X not booting (Not sure about that). I just went through this myself.
That's one of the big reason I have gone back to Win PCs as my main systems.
Mac's are OK but to restrictive in what you can do with the hardware, and the OS IMHO.

How can we make disable a Field of a FORM at run-time?

Hi to everybody,
I want to know that how can we make a filed DISABLE at runtime <whenever we run a FORM>.
I know about SET-ITEM-INSTANCE-PROPERTY but don't know how to use it,
please make it clear.
I will be gratefull to all of you
Thanking you in advance.

There's no property values for enabled or disabled in SET_ITEM_INSTANCE_PROPERTY.
Instead what you can do is set INSERT_ALLOWED, UPDATE_ALLOWED and NAVIGABLE to FALSE which basically what a disabled item behaves like.

Tony

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

How can I make the form fields show all inputted text?

I am trying to create forms to collect customer data. Currently, when I get them back from the customer, if they have typed in more words than the field box allows for, we have to scroll to read it all. When we go to print the form, only the text that fits in the box will print. Help!

Your choices are:
Make the field larger.
Limit the number of characters that can be placed in a field.
Export o Excel.
Add a page with one large field with the same name as the problem field.
Create a dynamic PDF using LiveCycle.
