How to stop someone from submitting a form multiple times?

My customers order my service by down loading a .pdf form. They then fill out the form and submit the form by my email as a pdf form. How do I stop a customer from submitting the form multiple times. I would like for the customer to submit the form only once filled out. If I need more info I could follow up to their order manually via email. Thanks for your help!
Sorry if a newbie question,
Looking for a way to disable the form after the form is filled out then submitted through their email

One of the main reasons why you have a customer posting multiple submits would be because for some reason he/she doesn't know the first one was successful.
Add a property your form to record whether or not a valid submit has already happened. Use script to set that property on submit. Check each time the submit operation is fired to see if the property is set. If it is display an error dialog and stop the submit from occurring.
If someone wants to open multiple copies of your form and fill it out and send it to you, well there's nothing you can do about that.

How to stop acrobat from submitting a form?

I have a button with two actions on Mouse Up.
- Run a javascript
- Submit the form through HTTP
The javascript action checks some required fields and sets the focus to them. If I find a required field, I CANNOT stop acrobat from moving to the next action and submitting the form. I tried "exit" with javascript but thats not the solution. I don't know good javascript so can someone point me to the right direction as to how to stop the form submission?
Thanks

Thanks try67. The line I used was this:
this.submitForm({
cURL: "http://www.snez.org/q/submit.php",
cSubmitAs: "HTML"

How to stop icloud from sharing files w multiple iphones

My husband and I both have iphones on a family plan. However everytime one of us downloads an app or itunes or change a contact in our phone, it changes the other phone as well. I tried turning off icloud in the phone but it still does it. It is extremely annoying, I would appreciate any help

we cannot then find each others's devices anymore.
Yes, you can. Just log in to the "Find my iPhone" app using the Apple ID for the device you want to find.
Why do you need to find each others devices though? Do you lose them often?
If you're actually using "Find my iPhone" as a way to keep track of each other, then you should be using the "Find my Friends" service and app on your devices.

How do I know if someone has submitted a form?

How do I know if someone has submited a form, Do I get e-mailed?

Hi;
You can get emailed if you have a "Paid" level account, there is an "Email Notifications" feature that you enable on the "Options" tab for email notifications. If you are using a Free account there is no notification and you would have to sign into your FormsCentral account to see when there are new responses, the existing/new response count is shown for each form on the My Forms tab as well as of course in the "View Responses" tab of the form.
Thanks,
Josh

How to stop Firefox from launching everytime I turn on my MacBook?

Hi Everyone,
Everytime I turn on my MacBook, Firefox launches. It really bugs me, and I tried to stop it, but couldn't find how, either in system preferences or in the firefox menus.
Can someone please help and tell me how to stop it from happening?
Thanks already,
Quentin

This usually happens because you've added the application to the Login Items list in the Accounts preferences. Open Accounts preference, click on the Login Items tab, locate the Firefox entry, select it then click on the "-" button to delete it.

How to stop FIM from Deleting Connections?

There is something that i need, but have ben unable to do... and that is to keep my BDC data even when there is no connection. I have not been able to figure out how to stop deletes from happening... this is what happens when my service is down
This is the result of the DeltaImport... It adds a SPS-Dummy object and removes all my objects, this causes all my fields in the user profile to become empty. I do not want this to happen. How can I configure FIM to not do this?
This is the result of the DeltaSync...
I have been working on this for days, and I just can't figure it out. I am going crazy!!! Please assist me.

Hi Marc,
Sorry for the typo. It's a BDC source, I use a WCF client to access a SQL Database (HR External System) that has 4 fields that are necessary to present in the Sharepoint User Profile. The issue occurs with a Full or a Delta Sync. The problem is that if the
BDC source is not present the fields are deleted (I get a SPS-Dummy Added and all of the pbjects in the BDC Connector Space are deleted).
I do not want this to happen. I do not want the User Profile Attributes/Fields to be empty/deleted if there is no connection I simply want them to stay what they are... I have two issues.
1) Is that the even if i change my data on SQL Server side, the changes do not get picked up by the sync. Since the only field that is being tested for change is an ADid, since the id does not change the BDC does not consider them changes.
2) If there is no connection I do not want the attributes to be deleted. I have not figured out a way to effectively do this.
So my issue appears to be simple to solve, but after 4 days and hundreds of tutorial pages read I have yet to figure out a proper way to do this.
Here is the pseudo-specification
The Fields that come form the HR System (SQL Server) are to be presented in the user profile. If there is no connection to the BDC file the fields remain as they are until there is a connection and updates can be made. Changes to any of the fields are performed
manually in the HR system. These changes must be picked up by the daily sync.

How to stop Mac from asking to "upgrade" to Mavericks

I have a shared MacBook Pro that has to stay in Mountain Lion for certain software to work. Others in my family use this computer on different users.
How to stop Mavericks from asking to install itself? No matter how many times I control click on the Mavericks item in the app store, it keeps coming back and asking.
Recently, someone accidentally clicked on update and it downloaded the whole thing. Fortunately, they got off before it asked to restart. When I clicked "cancel" I went to the Applications folder and deleted the "Install OS X Mavericks" app.
Please help. I don't want to EVER again have any user on this Mac be persuaded to "upgrade" (which shadily does not say "upgrade to Mavericks).
Other users need to install apps, so suggesting I limit their administrative access will not help.

Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately, that didn't work. (and I forgot to list it in my original question). I had tried "Ignore" several times and all that happens is, literally nothing). The Mac ignores the CD and so does Virtual PC.
I've also tried going into Virtual PC preferences, looking for anything relating to CD's and can't find anything there. I've even tried sharing drives between the programs, copying things to the shared drive, and burning to CD on the Mac, but this particular issue can't be resolved that way.
The specific file I'm trying to burn with Virtual PC is a Midi File downloaded from Yamaha Musicsoft, to play on my player piano. Yamaha has a download program that "exports" files to floppy disk but it's not Mac compatible. So I'm using Virtual PC and attempting to export the file via the Yamaha downloader, either to a floppy disk image or a CD image, and neither is working as the downloader doesn't recognize the CD and won't recognize a virtual floppy either.

I have itunes set up to sync with my Ipod Touch and my Ipad. As of today, it keeps looking for an iPhone to sync with and give me an error message. I don't have an iPhone and don't know how to stop it from popping open with this error message.

I have Itunes set up to sync with my Ipod touch and Ipad. As of today, iTunes has started searching to sync with an iPhone, which I don't have and pops open with an error message stating it cannot locate the iPhone to sync. I have looked in devices and only the iPad and iPod Touch are listed. Any ideas on how to stop iTunes from searching for any iPhone it is never going to find? It is annoying to have it popping up all the time with the error message. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

How to stop Firefox from checking for add-on compatibility every time it opens?

That can be a problem with the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder.
Try to rename (or delete) the compatibility.ini file in the Firefox profile folder to see if that helps.
You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
You can also check for problems with preferences.
Delete possible user.js and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

Did you change the ID you are using for iCoud? If so, did you delete the account, then sign back in with your new ID on your device?

Do you organise your email into separate folders, or do you just let it accumulate in the Inbox?
I would strongly advise you not to let it sit in the Inbox.
When you see this happening, try right-click on the affected folder, select '''Properties''' then '''Repair Folder'''.
Large folders (actually, a folder in Thunderbird is stored as a file, so it is sensitive to file size limits set by the underlying file system) can be problematic. This is one reason not to let messages collect in one folder. I use Thunderbird's Archive folders so that accumulated mails over several years can happily coexist because they are effectively stored in many small folders. No single mail store folder then exceeds the 2GB or 4GB sizes that have been known to stress the OS. I appreciate that current builds of Thunderbird and a modern 64-bit OS should be able to cope, but practically I find it slows down when given huge files, so I err towards a pragmatic solution; a large number of not very big files.
Archives are searchable, and a Saved Search folder can give you a virtual composite folder allowing access to the entire Archive.

How to stop mail from recovering a too large message

how to stop mail from recovering a too large message

You can't stop Mail from storing sent messages locally. If they're synchronized with the IMAP server, they'll still be present locally. The only way to get the effect you seem to want is to use webmail.

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

How to stop mail from recovering the same message over and over again to the extent that it has wiped out all start up disk memory?

You need to find and delete (move to the Trash) the offline mail cache (.offline cache.) It's a hidden folder (files and folders with a preceding dot are hidden) inside the Mail folder (inside IMAP) in your user library. Since it's hidden, in order to see it run the following command in Terminal in Applications>Utilities. Hit return/enter once you have pasted in the command.
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool true ; killall Finder
To reverse this and hide all those hidden files and folders again
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles -bool false ; killall Finder
Leave hidden files/folders enabled until you finish emptying the Trash so you know it's gone.

How to stop Mail from selecting addresses from the list of Previous Recipients?

This is a related question.
I deleted ALL my previous recipients and when I create a new e-mail it STILL is getting addresses that I don't want - they pop up and I don't know how to stop this!
I switched from one ISP to another - I deleted the old e-mail account in MAIL - I DID use the same name on the account - is that why it keeps bringing up the old address?
ARGH!
