How to outline fields that are blank?

Hi,
I am creating a report that has fields outlines. I have noticed if the field is empty the outline does not display. What can I do to make even the empty fields show the outline?
Thanks,
Trish

Hi Trish,
I'm not sure how you're applying the outline however in Crystal Report, you can create a conditional formula to check if the value of the field isnull or blank. For example if you were applying a line style around the field you can test with the following condition:
1. Right-click on the field.
2. Select Format Field.
3. Select the Border tab.
4. In the Line Style section, click on the "X+2" icon and enter the following condition.
if isnull({YOUR.FIELD}) or ({YOUR.FIELD}) = "" then 1 else 1

Wallie

How to Print Fields that are Centered on the Label

Labview 6.1 - Which VI do I call or Attribute do I set to make a String Field "Centered" on its Row on a Zebra Label? I need to specify the String Data, the Font Size and Centered about Position. One Centered field per Row (3 Rows). I am using the NewReport.vi, SetReportOrientation.vi, SetReportFont.vi AppendReportText,vi, PrintReport.vi and DisposeReport.vi

LabVIEW does support the windows printer driver, I was thrown off by the fact that you said "zebra label." We have a report generation toolkit that will allow you to create more advanced reports and can programatically control microsoft word and excel to create as complex of a document as you desire.
Our basic report generation toolkit that ships with LabVIEW supports simple reports and layouts. It also allows for HTML reports. You can then append any HTML formatting to the report that you desire (such as the center tag).
You could also continue to use the standard report by appending spaces to the string you are printing. For example, if you know that your printer is 80 characters wide (using a fixed width font), you can take the size of the string "len" and append (80-len)/2 number of spaces to the string. If you need help doing this, let me know.
We actually implimented a barcode label printing VI that printed an entire front panel. We created a VI that had an array of controls and we formatted the controls to our desire (one was a centered string). We then used the "print panel vi" in the block diagram. That we we simply wired the inputs to the VI and it printed the front panel to the printer onto the labels (we use this on our large shipments that have more than one item).
The ActiveX examples that ship with LabVIEW and on our website are very good starting points for creating word reports, but if you are going to use LabVIEW to manipulate Microsoft Word and Excel, I really suggest getting our Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office. The RGT (Report Generation Toolkit) contains a complete set of easy to use VIs to programmatically create and edit Word and Excel documents. The Microsoft Office ActiveX interface is huge, and it is often times hard to find good complete documentation on how to perform certain tasks. The RGT VIs hide all of the ActiveX complexity and really simplify the tasks, but as a developer I really appreciate the fact that the VIs contain all of the ActiveX code on the block diagram so that I can look at them as examples and modify them to my desire. You can find out more about the RGT from ni.com, click on Products, LabVIEW, LabVIEW Addons, LabVIEW Toolsets, LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit.
I hope some this gives you an idea you can run with.

How do you change the fields that are displayed on the email preview list after a search?

How do you modify the fields that are displayed in the mail preview list in the center column of Mac mail after you conduct a search of your email? All of a sudden the displayed fields changed on me whenever I do a search in mail. When I have not filtered my email with a search, the default field shown in bold at the top of each message's preview is the "From" field. However, when I do a search this changes to the "To" field. Can anyone help? Thanks, ccarey

But why would you want this?
iTunes is responsible for the File Management, let it get on with it, you do your organisation in the iTunes window. And everything you need to do, you can do via the iTunes Window. Want to find the file of a track quickly? Right click on it in the iTunes Window and select Show File: A finder window pops open with the file already selected.

How do I deal with Tokenized strings that are blank?

I'm writing a little application that writes data to a file. It sends data to the file as a "|" delineated string. Then I use tokenizer to break up the string as follows:
try {
                              String searchtext = SearchTxt.getText();
                              String tokenString = "";
                              String[] returnData = new String[8];
                              File filedata = new File("bigbase.txt");
                              BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(
                              new FileReader(filedata));
                              String line = in.readLine();
                              while ( line != null) {
                              Pattern pat = Pattern.compile(searchtext);
                              Matcher mat = pat.matcher(line);
                                   if ( mat.find() ) {
                                   StringTokenizer t = new StringTokenizer(line, "|");
                                   maintextArea.setText("");
                                   int count = 0;
                                        while (t.hasMoreTokens()) {
                                             tokenString = t.nextToken();
                                             returnData[count] = tokenString;
                                             maintextArea.append(tokenString + " ");
                                             System.out.println(tokenString);
etc etc etc
The problem is that when the tokens are blank, I get an endless loop when I try to print out the data on that last line. How do I deal with Tokens that are blank so they don't endlessly loop my output?
Thanks
MrThis

Most people would probably tell you to use:
String.split(...);
But I'm not most people and I wrote this class before regex support was added to the String class which is based on StringTokenizer but supports empty tokens:

Fields that are not displayed are still submitted

Is there any way to prevent fields from being submitted? I have fields that are only conditionally displayed on the screen, but the values are submitted every time.
ie, user enters some field values, submits the page. we branch to the same page and do not clear the values so the user can see what he/she put in last time.
the user now selects from a select list which causes some of the fields that previously had values to no longer be displayed.
the user fills out some of the other fields, then submits the page, and all the old values and the new values are submitted. i would like only the new values to be submitted, and the old values not to be submitted.
is this possible? (and reasonable to implement)

Original Question:
Is there any way to prevent fields from being submitted? I have fields that are only conditionally displayed on the screen, but the values are submitted every time.
Hi Becky,
Yes Modify your submit procedure to only submit the records that are displayed on the screen.
I'm not too clear on why or what your trying to do.
When you submit the page and then branch to the same page.
Why don't you just make the user edit the record they just entered or create a new record?
Maybe I've misunderstood something but something your doing in the steps you've described, doesn't seem to be too clear to me...

How to detect sessions that are currently running parallel queries?

Hi everyone,
How to detect session that are currently running parallel queries?

- Is there a better way to do this?
Follow up question:
After detecting sessions that are running parallel queries how do i identify which sessions are slaves of which session?

Start with V$PX_SESSION, however also take a look at V$PQ_* and V$PX_* tables.

How to unglue clips that are stuck together in the timeline

I've looked everywhere, I'm sure it's there but I can not find how to "unglue" clips that are stuck together in the timeline. NOT break apart clip items, but get rid of those pesky things that attach the different levels of video together. And BTW what the heck are those little claws called?
Thank you so very very much in advance!

You can't move tracks. Everything in the timeline has to be connected to the primary storyline at some point. Each clip that's connected can be connected individually so it's free floating and the connection point can be moved anywhere you want, or the clips can be strung togother and connected at a single point. You can Opt-Cmd-click to change the connection to a new location, but it has to be connected somehow.

How to store records that are entered in the fields?

Hi friends can any one help me how to store the records that are given as input.
Say if Empid - 123456, this 123456 has to be stored in table it will be stored but can any one help me with procedure?
Thanks

Hi,
If the records are from an input file, you will have to first create a structure for the Employee id ....
then, read the input file data into the internal table you have defined in the earlier step...
then, loop at the records one after the other and update the records directly into the table....( typically this is a direct update of data and will be done when you were dealing with the data relating to a "Z" table )
please follow the procedure and let me know how it worked for you or if you are still having issues on this.
Thanks,
Vishnu.

Can you add fields that are manually maintained.

I'd like to be able to add fields to my MAP Toolkit's inventory. For example, adding Asset and Warranty fields, to keep track of this information. I'd be maintaining the data manually, which is fine since it doesn't change very often. Is there a way to extend
the toolkit to include these types of fields?
So far the only solution I've been able to think of is to generate reports, convert the .XLS to .CSV, and then use PowerShell to merge the .CSV with a file containing the static information. This would be quite an undertaking as I'd need either different
scripts, of different logic paths, to deal with the multiple reports available from the toolkit.
Thanks
Jim Winner

The reports are generated using queries that are in stored procedures. I suppose it would be possible to modify the query so that extra columns would be created, but I don't know how you would get the data into MAP.

Can i create user-defined fields that are checkboxes?

I need to create a set of user defined fields on Activities that are a checkboxes. I cant see any options in the manage user fields dialog to set the field as a checkbox, the only options are alphanumeric, Datetime, Units & Totals etc.
Can user defined fields be added that appear as checkboxes? if so, how do i do it?

What you need will not be available by UDF. You need SDK programming for any Check Boxes. However, you may use predefined list for UDF to imitate part of functions of the check box.
Thanks,

How to recover song that are "lost", itunes can't find them even though I have downloaded and played them before

Does anyone know how to recover songs that itunes has "lost"?
I downloaded them, synced my ipod, songs were added and I was able to play them.
On a recent sync the songs are suddenly "not found" according to itunes. I can't locate them in the itunes folder, so I have no idea where itune put them. BTW-this is not the first time itunes stored songs in a random directory...... Since itune can't find them, they were deleted from my ipod

Look, I understand I still need a card attached to the account. The problem is, it won't accept my card because I only have 87 cents in my bank account right now.
If I had known there would be so much trouble with the iTunes card, I would have just put the cash in my bank account in the morning instead of buying an iTunes card (I didn't expect the banks to be open on Thanksgiving of course).
Apple will only accept cards that have a balance. The balance is so small in my account that it won't accept it as a valid card.
I'm going to have to contact Apple anyway to reset the security questions. That's obvious. Your answers were not exactly helpful. You didn't tell me anything I don't already know, but thanks for trying to be helpful.

How to view songs that are not in any playlist

I am using iTunes 6.04.
I want to be able to view songs in my Library that are not associated with ANY playlist. How can this be done? Please don't suggest to me upgrading to iTunes 7.02. (with every iTunes update, Apple makes is more difficult to do the things Apple doesn't want you to be able to do).
Thanks
Ben

Please be patient. If you don't get a reply within a few hours, obviously nobody passed by who knew the answer to your question.
After all we're just fellow users trying to help as these are user-to-user forums.
I have an answer.
Run one of these scripts:
Not In Any Playlist will create a text listing of songs that are not in any playlist.
Not In Any Playlist To Playlist will put songs that are not in any playlist into a new playlist.
Hope this helps.

Any idea how to use BO Auditor or Metadata Manager to identify webi reports that are using a specific universe object or universe prompt in the report SQL?

Hi Samuel,
In case you are using BOXIR2 you can do this by editing the crystalenterprise.webi.xml file.
Replace the CrystalEnterprise.Webi.xml file (Take a backup) with the edited one.
Path where you can find this file- Tomcat/webapps/businessobjects/enterprise115/desktoplaunch/WEB-INF/classes/META-INF/CrystalEnterprise.Webapps/ePortfolio/plugins
Paste the Custom Documentation folder in Tomcat\webapps\businessobjects\enterprise115\desktoplaunch\
