How do i create a auto numbering field

How do i create a field that is auto numbering? Starting from 1017?
Thanks

Yes only one person will be using the form. This is a inventory receiving report that is filled out everytime inventory is received and and new # is used each time. I have been manually putting the number in the current field and would like it to be automatic now to help cut down on using the same # in error.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

How can I create a Text-Input Field in BexAnalyzer for a Planning Function

Hello,
i want to create a pre calculation(contribution accounting) for Materials in BI-Integrated Planning. These Materials aren't in the master data. So I create a new Info Object for pre calculated materials with only a material-number as key and a text-description.
Now I want to write a Exit-Function, which creates new materials in these Info Object. The user should start this function in a planning application in BexAnalyzer. There the user should have the possibility to enter a text-description for the new material. How can I create such a Text-Field in BexAnalyzer and how can I read this text filed in a planning function (exit).
Thanks in advance

Hi Jürgen,
you can create a parameter for this in the exit function and a variable for the parameter. In BEx Analyzer then create a button for the planning function; in the button parameterization use VAR_NAME = , i.e. use an Excel formula here to get the value from an Excel input field.
The command range should be some 'hidden area' in your Excel sheet.
But may be you don't need this. Use a characteristic without master data. Then ensure that that the query uses the option 'key' as display. In new lines you can then enter the key, the system creates a SID on the fly (but the text table will not be updated). In this scenario you may take text also from the key. May be you can update the text table (online or in batch) by simply using function modules from function group RSNDI_MD (not released by SAP).
But observere that the system in BI Planning reads only the active version, i.e. if you change something on the fly the changes may not be visible.
Regards,
Gregor

How can I create an expandable text field in Acrobat XI?

I am trying to create a text field that expands with the text that is entered. I have found several forums saying to use subforms, but how do I create those? Does anyone know where I can find a really good turtorial for XI?

There are two type of PDF forms: AcroForms that can be created with Acrobat, and XFA forms (static and dynamic) that can be created with LiveCycle Designer. Since the kind you want (dynamic XFA) cannot be created with Acrobat, you'll have to use LiveCycle Designer. Said another way, AcroForms do not support fields that automatically expand based on content. If you want to ask about dynamic XFA forms, you can ask in the LiveCycle Designer forum: http://forums.adobe.com/community/livecycle/livecycle_modules_and_development_tools/livecy cle_designer_es

How do I create an auto page height with nested divs

#1 Don't use the Height property on any wrappers or containers that will hold text. Height is a restriction in every browser except IE -- which treats height as if it were min-height. People need to be able to increase text size in browser (View, Zoom , Text only) without causing damage to the page.
#2 Why are you using absolute positioning? Don't you realize this layout method is a huge cross to bare?
Here is why:

How do I turn off auto-numbering?

I want to turn off auto-numbering in iWeb. I tried doing it in the Inspector under Text/lists by selecting "none" but that didn't work. Can anyone help?

Thanks, Old Toad. I'll try it. While continuing to work the problem last night, I discovered if I hold down "shift" when I hit "return" to go to the next line, it suppresses numbering and I can do it myself, the old-fashioned way. I remember seeing that trick in another iWeb context in a Google search, but it appears to work on numbering, too.
Hey, if I want numbering, it's surely simple enough that I can do it myself, just like if I want to type the word "the"! I'm a touch typist, and I can fly when I get going, and any sort of "auto" function trips me out of the flow, actually making what I'm doing harder, not easier. The "shift-return" solution will also make it harder, until I get it down pat. Maybe one of these days the propellor beanies will bring in an actual user for a consult before they force such dubious improvements on the whole population. I'm sure there are folks who think this is cool, but that doesn't mean it's progress.
Anyway, thanks for your help.
Best,
Steve

How can I create an auto-incrementing ID field for a web app?

I have a web app for a project database. Customers can login and add a new record to the web app. We need it to provide each new project with a unique and sequential number. The BC ID number for each web app item is unique but of course not sequential (and too long). So for example the client would like all project IDs to be 4 digits starting from 1000. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!

Kapowaz,
Just thinking out loud, I wonder if you could use an Automator action to find the last invoice created and open a new file with a name based on incrementing a part of last file's filename. This would make the filename the same as the invoice number and you would still have to transfer the file's name to the content of the file.
If I had this need, I think I would create an Invoice Log document. It would be easy to have a table into which you would enter identifying data and date and have the table generate a new invoice number that you could paste into the current invoice document. It would kill two birds with one stone if you need an index of your invoices.

How do I create and auto-launch bookmarks in LiveCycle Designer?

I've created a fillable form using Adobe Live 8 Pro, I distribute the form using Acrobat. I haven't found a way to create bookmarks in LiveCycle so I create them using Acrobat first before I distribute the form...Is there another way?
The problem I'm running into with this approach is that I cannot auto-enable the bookmarks when the PDF is opened because File > Properties > Initial View is disabled.
So given that I've created a form using Adobe Live, what do I have to do to get bookmarks to launch in the initial view?
Does anyone out there know how to do this?
thanks in advance.
Jon

Hi Hoser117,
Have you considered using a LiveCycle Designer PDF form? LiveCycle Designer comes in the box with Acrobat 9 Pro. Here's are links to some videos from acrobatusers.com that show how to create expandable/flowable tables and fields in a LiveCycle Designer PDF form-

How can i create an auto increment column

Hello Everyone
We are working on an EAM package which has an auto number facility but that is not meeting our requirement because some 10s and 100s of numbers keep on jumping based on the number of records the child table has.Means every record in my parent table will have some child records in another table which we call it a child table.The number of numbers that will be jumped each time will depend on the number of child records it has. Now we want to create a new column and generate a sequential unique number in my parent table with out linking it to its child table and use this number as a reference number. And we cant do that through our package customization. Can any one guide us if we can meet our requirement through oracle triggers or so.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
For "Auto-Increment" functionality - you can use a combination of a sequence and a trigger like so:
create table roles ( role_id INT
                   , role_name VARCHAR2(30) NOT NULL
                   , creation_date DATE DEFAULT SYSDATE NOT NULL
                   , role_description VARCHAR2(255)
                   , CONSTRAINT roles_pk PRIMARY KEY (role_id)
                   , CONSTRAINT roles_uk1 UNIQUE (role_name)
create sequence role_id_seq
start with 1
increment by 1
nocache;
CREATE OR REPLACE TRIGGER roles_pk_trig
BEFORE
insert on roles
for each row
begin
IF :new.role_id IS NULL THEN
   SELECT role_id_seq.NEXTVAL
   INTO :new.role_id
   FROM dual;
END IF;
end;
/Now any insert which leaves the "ROLE_ID" column NULL will have an auto-incremented value put in for that column. This is similar to an "Autonumber" column in Access.
Hope this helps...
Take care.

How do I turn off auto numbering of lists?

I've tried unselecting all boxes in the preferences / auto correction menu and Pages still tries to add numbers or letters to items.

I just figured out one neat trick. If you don't want the next line of your text to be numbered in your document, hit "Control-Enter" instead of "Enter" when you create a new line. It will give you a blank line to work with.

Creating an auto incrementing field with CREATE TABLE from Java

I'm using the "sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver" to get a connection towards an ODBC data source that's linked to a Access (.mdb) database.
I've tried various combinations in my CREATE TABLE statement execution in order to create a table with an auto incrementing integer but neither of them work, not even the most obvious one:
stmt.executeUpdate("CREATE TABLE mytable(uid integer AUTO_INCREMENT PRIMARY KEY);");
I always get this runtime exception: *java.sql.SQLException: [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] Syntax error in field definition*; and AUTO_INCREMENT is the problem. I've tried all variations like AUTO, INCREMENT, AUTOINCREMENT and such, but nothing works.
I've looked everywhere but couldn't find an answer to this. Thanks for the help.

You used MySQL syntax. I think you agree with me that Access isn't a MySQL database. Either use MySQL with a real JDBC driver (recommended) or use Access syntax.
That said, creating databases and tables using Java is a bad idea. The database and table must be already there. With Java you just do the usual table operations like select, insert, update and delete. Nothing more is needed.

How can i create categories in numbers 3.0

After updating numbers to 3.0, I can't find a way to create categories in the table

Hi rhimac,
Glad it helped. It's a bit ugly to set up that extra column but it really isn't that much trouble. It can do the job until Apple (we hope) brings back multi-column sort.
One further thought, that I've posted elsewhere: =A&B or =A&C&B or whatever will work if the values are all text. If you need to sort columns that contain numbers you need to "pad" the numbers with leading zeros so they will sort as you want. That's easily done. Say B is a number. You can change the B in the formula to something like RIGHT("000000000000",B,12).
This turns the number into a string (text), puts zeros in front of the string, and grabs the last 12 characters in the string. So if your number was $1,250.95 it would become 000000000000$1250.95 then finally 000$1,250.95. The numbers in the other rows of the column would also start with zeros and thus sort properly. You would increase the number of zeros within the "" and increase the 12 as needed if your column happened to contain larger numbers.
And one last thought. If you're just sorting by two columns sometimes you don't have to resort to an extra column. Say you are sorting by A then by B. In the popup menu at the head of the column first sort by B. Then sort by A. It seems kind of backwards. But it will work in some situations. When you're dealing with three columns or more, though, the extra column is probably the way to go.

How do I create a global text field so the value will repeat on other pages?

This is the first time I've used Adobe Livecycle Designer ES2, My experience stems from Acrobat Pro 8. I have the following fields:
1. Date Field (date formatted)
2. Name (text formatted)
3. Chart # (numeric formatted)
4. Date of Birth (date formatted)
These fields will be on Page 1.. I have a form that's 4 pages.... once the user fills in the fields on the first page, I want it to automatically populate for pages 2 through 4. How can I make this possible?
Second question: How do I make Extended Features for reader without distributing the form? There's an easy way to do it in Acrobat Pro, just not sure how in Livecycle Designer ES2

Well, everything in those PDFs were form fields. You can make form fields in Acrobat - and then you can right-click on 'em and change their appearance, whether or not they'll accept rich text input, whether or not they'll scroll, and so on. It could also be done in LiveCycle Designer, for what it's worth. I wrote a now-obsolete post about this in response to yours before Mike showed up with this video.
Probably most of your work on your designs in InDesign would need to be trashed; you'd need to rebuild the whole thing in Acrobat or LiveCycle. I have to say that, unless your targeted documents are extremely simple, that this is one of the worst document translation workflows I've ever seen in the last fifteen years. It might work - I'm trying to keep an open mind, here - but if you have any non-Latin-script languages in your target list, or if print reproduction is what you're after, or if you're expecting tracking revisions to the translations to be anything but a nightmare, I would suggest that you test this method inside and out before progressing any further.

How can I create a textbox-like field?

I am writing a After Effect Plug-in.
I want to create a textbox-like for user, when click om plugin in after effect cs4 popup textbox
So, if there is any example to create that UI for me?
Thanks a lot.

i'll try to give you a wider picture.
AE has no "text" parameter you can add to a plug-in.
you have to either create on using a custon UI, or open a window and use an OS control to allow the user to enter text.
if you're just beginning developing you should probably avoid custom UI. it's a pain.
the simples way to trigger an OS window is using javascript.
yes, just as you would in a regular AE javascript.
there are a few scripts that ship with AE that show how to open a window and even get text input.
the link i added to the previous post show EXACTLY how to implement java from within an effect.
all you have to do is change the java script to one you need.
copy/paste. the rest is ready to use as it is in that link.
how do you know when to launch that window?
there are a few ways to tell.
the most versatile would be a custom UI, but as i said, it's not easy to do.
the second method would be to use "param supervision".
it will tell you when the user clicked on a specific param, so you can launch the window.
relatively simple to pull off.
look at the "supervisor" sample to see how it's implemented.
the third method is the simplest, and i would recommend it for a beginner.
as many effects that require some window to open do, you can use the "options" button to launch the window.
you can even change the name of that button using PF_SetOptionsButtonName().
look at the "checkout" sample.
it has it all.
it changes the name of the "options" to "whatever i want!".
it even has a function called PopDialog() that... pops up a message window when clicking on the options button.
all you'll need to do, is replace the content of the PopDialog() function with your window code.
that should get you up and running.
