I need better form options

Hi,
I made a couple of apex applications, now running in production, but the more we made, the more we found we need better forms, now we input eveything in our apex application with linear forums, like we need to make purchase orders, first let me explain how our current jobs like:
We mainly using excel spreedsheet for everything, we make like, Purchase orders, and others in excel, after we printing out, we have to input those POs to our apex applications(that is my idea), but everytime we only can add one line per time, I viewed the tabular forums , but in the browers, it is not good to use like excel,
I got other ERP systems, and it is very common to use forms inside of it, and like making a new PO, they got tabular forms just like spreedsheets, very good, and you can make a po in it, print it out, and it is also in the database, but now we cannot do that, our form/reporting tool is MS excel,
Any good idea about that, will you make a tabular forms like MS excel in browers, ?? , you know, if you use Google doc, they already made Spreedsheet in the web..
We need better forms, and , better reporting.
Peter

YOu can look at using a collection to gather multiple rows and then write the collection back out after you are done with the processing..
I believe there are examples up her efor doing that, and I worked with an application to do that too..
Also I believe there are data grids available that could be modified to work with APEX, again, it was talked about here in the forum..
(Correction, here is a link to a javascript "grid" library, free to download even..

What happened to Reunion? need better options for genealogists, please.

We need better options for genealogists, please. What happened to Reunion???

apologies for obtuse question. Reunion is apparently no longer available from App Store. Family Tree Maker is now available for MAC but is not getting good reviews. I have used both. FYM on PC and then switched to Reunion, because FTM was not available in 2008 when I got my Mac.
Now I note that Ancestry is in cahoots with FTM so am tempted to switch again but put off by the poor feedback.
I thought that Reunion was also available for Iphone but not FTM??

512 MB memory needed to install bus. intelligence & forms option

Reading the documentation, I'm just wondering if I read it correctly that to install Oracle 9iAS business intelligence & forms option (ie: I want Portals and Discoverer), I have to have 512Mb. memory on my server?
Thx. for any info.

Ow! We're just testing the installation now and the machine I have has 256M memory which I thought would be enough just to see how it installed.
512M sounded do-able, but 1.25G!
If that's truly the required amount, then will have to try and get lots more memory on this box first!

Form created with Livecycle Designer with a SQL database - do you need LiveCycle Forms installed?

Hello,
I'm REALLY hoping someone here can help me, I have spent over four hours on the phone to Adobe in the last 3 days and I'm getting no where what-so-ever. I can't even find out where /how to complain about it! (but thats another story)
Here's my situtation:
I work for a company with approx 140 staff. On one computer, we have Adobe Livecycle Designer ES installed, and we have used that program to create a form which has a link to a SQL database.
The link in this form doesn't work on the other computers which has the basic (free) Adobe Reader. From doing research within these forums
, I have found that the form will not work on other computers unless they have Adobe Livecycle forms installed on their machines.
What I need to know (and what they cannot seem to tell me when I call), is two things:
Is it correct that in order to use a form created in Livecycle Designer which has a link to a SQL database, that the machine must have LiveCycle forms installed?
How much does Adobe LiveCycle Forms costs?
PLEASE, if you can answer this question, I would REALLY appriciate it....
Thank you!

I presume you are asking if you need Livecycle Forms ES? Forms ES is a component of the livecycle software suite intended as a document service which will be installed on a server within the organisation. A couple of things this document service can do is to render XDP into multiple formats (PDF, html, etc.), execute script server side (for example the database connection) on behalf of the client (reader, etc.), integrate with backend components, etc. So no you do not install this on each client.
For database connections to work, you either have a server with Forms ES installed which can connect on each clients behalf (ie. Client->Forms ES Server->Database), or you have a reader-extended PDF to allow connections to be use in the free basic Reader (i.e. direct calls to the database or using web service calls to your own database components). However, reader-extended pdf would probably require Reader Extensions ES component installed on a server (you once off extend your developed pdf through this and then hand it out to each of the end users). Not sure if the Acrobat Reader extensions will cover this functionality since I have not tried that. I dont think it does. Otherwise you would need full acrobat on each client.
How much database integration is your form actually doing at the moment? read only? Full access? And how many clients do you expect to hit your database? Depending on what you need the form to do, there is always the option to try and build the integration yourself. Do simple http submits from the browser (hosting reader as a plugin) to some component somewhere which in turn hits your database. Wouldnt require additional licensing but alot more development work.
As for cost for the various components, thats a question only Adobe can answer for you since they all sit squarely in the enterprise space and licensing for that is not as simple as off the shelf products.
Maybe someone else has a view on it or has an alternative.

Email Form Options

Hi,
I think I might have posted this previously in the wrong spot, so here goes again.
I have created a form in Livecycle which I would like to post on my company's intranet. My Manager has requested I make some minor changes to the form before agreeing to it.
The key items I need to work out are validating an email address via a drop down selection so that the form will email the as an attachment in pdf to the selected user. I've entered all data required in the validation tab and removed the submit button which I originally had. This didnt work so I researched a series options I found on here and inserted Javascript, but no luck. So I'm stuck.
I also need the form to be cc'd to myself. Secondly I need the subject of the email to be the User First and Surname (which are existing data input fields in the form).
Last but not least I'd like to lock the form so changes cannot be made once it has been completed and submitted. The form is emailed to an Authoriser from the drop down list who will forward it on for processing with their approval for the requested access. Can locking a form be implemented simply or does it require Javascript or something else?
I am happy for someone to look over my form and can email it through. I tried to cover all research prior to asking the question on the forum here concerning inserting hidden fields, email options and javascript etc to make things work. I seem to be nearly there but struggling with final completion of these items above. If anyone is able to help I'd really appreciate it.
Regards
Nick

35 views and zero replies. Hmmm I've obviously missed something here, so I'm going to go into some finer detail and hope that someone can assist.
In order to try and achieve the email going to the specific selection within the drop down list I have the respective users email addresses entered (and saved) in the Binding Tab of the Object. There is a hidden button for the click event (invibile on the form to the user completing it) in the Submit field I have mailto:emailaddress@(mycompanyname.com.au) and there a "Submit" button at the bottom of the form, which has the control type set to regular rather than execute or Submit. The Submit button also has some Javascript tied into it which is set as follows:
F.P1.Button1::click - (Javascript, client)
if (DropDownList1.rawValue != null){
RealEmail.event__click.submit.target = "mailto:" + DropDownList1.rawValue;
app.alert(RealEmail.event__click.submit.target);
RealEmail.execEvent("click");
} else {
app.alert("Please select a user from the dropdown!");
Nothing happens when I attempt to select a user from the drop down and no email is generated.
Any dieas?

Uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option under the Tools menu programmaticaly

Hi,
I have a standard Oracle form open, and I want to open my own custom form, leaving the standard form open, so users can navigate back and forth between the two. I can accomplish this, but I need to go to the Tools menu and uncheck the "Close Other Forms" option. Just wondering if there's a way to do this programatically? Thanks.

Hi,
Do you want to make the option 'not visible' or 'visible but not enabled'...?
For the first option you probably would need to do form personalizations...
For the second option you can refer to the following metalink note... "Note ID 264461.1"...
Thanks and Regards,

Clear form Option resets read only properties

Hey guys,
Using your help I got my problem solved last time. So when I have a series of Questions, I set all questions to read only in their properties except the first Question. Once the first question is answered, using the script below, I then set read only for the next question to false and students can answer the next question now. So using this pattern, it allows them to answer one question after the other without skipping any.
The Mouse Up action for each "Radio Button1" could be:
if(event.value != "Off") this.getField('Radio Button2').readonly = false;
Now, while this works perfectly for time being, I keep experimenting with this form with lots of modifications made as needed. When I use the "clear form" Option to empty all the form fields before saving it, all the read only Questions reset and now when we close and re open the file, any question can be answered and the script used above has no more value.
What is the script needed here to avoid the read only questions to reset when i use the clear form option. Please help me out here!

Clear the form menu action or the "this.resetForm();" script only resets the values of the fields.
You script will one execute when there is a Mouse Up action, and if a radio button or check box is set to read only then there can be no field actions. The field is locked to user interaction and can only be manipulated by JavaScripts.
There is no trap for the reset or clear action so even if you created a button to reset and clear the form fields with the read only property set, you would still have the issue of the user using the menu option. You can add a document level script to clear the read only property of fields when the form is opened.

Hi Robert,
I recommend you do your changes in your file/XML file before you load your form. It's much quicker and easier this way
e.g
//make your changes in your xml form
SBO_Application.LoadBatchActions(ref YourXMLFileString);
Cheers, Lita

I NEED A FORM THAT WILL PUT NAME IN ALPHABETIC ORDER. THIS FORM NEEDS TO HAVE COLUMNS WITH HEADERS.

I NEED A FORM THAT LISTS NAMES IN ALPHBETIC ORDER ON THE LEFT SIDE GOING DOWN. THIS FORM ALSO NEEDS COLUMNS THAT HAVE PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION ON THE TOP OF THE COLUMNS.

Hi,
Is your question in the context of the responses that you collect (this is the View Responses tab) or the actual form that your end users will see?
In a nutshell, (1) a field in your form corresponds to a column in the responses table. (2) the caption text of the form field will be the column header (show up at the top of the column). (3) to list names in alphabetical in your form, you can use choices fields, like multiple choices field or drop down field - you will have to enter the name in alphabetical order manually.
Hope this helps,
Thanks,
Lucia

HP Pavilion - Do I need external Recovery option?

Hi,
I have just bought a HP Pavilion 15. Keep getting contractdictory advice. Some say must have an external Recovery option; others say why, there is no need and it is a lot of hassle to create a set. Need advice:
1) is it really necessary to have an external option when I have the recovery partition (D) on the hard drive?
2) If I need an external option (however hard that may be to create), am thinking about buying Panasonic DVD-RAM Disc Rewritable 9.4GB. Is this appropriate media? And, how do I work out how many discs I need to buy?
3) absolute worse case secenario - if I needed to recover & didn't have an external recovery media, what would be my other options?
Unfortunately, know enough knowlegde/experince to worry but not enough to know what to do. Can anyone help?
This question was solved.
View Solution.

To the best of my knowledge, HP allows driver downloads regardless of warranty status.. About the only time you will ever have an issue is if you are trying to put an OS on a machine it's not designed for.. IE Win7 on a Win8 machine, etc etc..
Even then, there are always alternatives...
My philosophy has always been to NEVER put anything on a computer that you can't live without..
If Drivers are your concern, don't worry. With VERY few exceptions, drivers are ALWAYS available..
The hassle of going out into the wild of the Interent to find them is really the only downside...

Simple form option tag in PtG

Hi, got a problem with the simple form option
Here's my code:
LOOP
FETCH my_dyncursor INTO my_1;
EXIT WHEN my_dyncursor%NOTFOUND;
-- Anzeige der vorhandenen Werte der Dimension
IF my_1 IS NOT NULL THEN
dbms_output.put_line('<SimpleFormOption value="' | | my_1 | | '">' | | my_1 | |'</SimpleFormOption>');
END IF;
END LOOP;
Important to me is the value of the SimpleFormOption: the that isgenerated out of my Database looks like this: Laser Disk Sale
The hyperlink in the IE5.5 looks like this:
param=Laser+Disk+Sale
this works correct.
But if I use the phone.com Simulator, the spaces of the string are not replaced by "+".
It looks like this:
param=Laser Disk Sale
Disk and Sale get Lost!
So afterwards i ran into errors.
Has anybody a solution?
Thx.
Claus

Struts cannot find the ActionForm you are using.
Check your html:form tag to make sure you declared it in your struts-config

No it does not, as long as you do as follows: (Instructions are copied over from my previous posts on the subject)
How to manually change the Windows HAL:
Use the following command: "expand d:\i386\halacpi.dl_ c:\windows\system32\hal.dll"
Whereas: d: is your CD-ROM letter, or where you Windows XP Installation resides.
halacpi.dl_ can be any of the following depending on what you want to install:
"Standard PC", Non-ACPI PIC HAL (Hal.dll)</LI>
"MPS Uniprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halapic.dl_)</LI>
"MPS Multiprocessor PC", Non-ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halm
ps.
dl_)</LI>
"Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) PC", ACPI PIC HAL (Halacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Uniprocessor PC", ACPI APIC UP HAL (Halaacpi.dl_)</LI>
"ACPI Multiprocessor PC", ACPI APIC MP HAL (Halmacpi.dl_)
</LI>
Offcourse, the HAL you should change to is Standard PC. You will lose Dual Core or HT support in the process, but I strongly believe it can help. As per above, you can switch back to your previous HAL without reinstalling. You will be most prolably asked for the drivers of your devices, but on my setup, it didn't, as they were already stored in Windows' System Folders.

Hi, I'm creating an ibook in iphoto and need more design options. Someone said there was a program called "Keynote" on my new imac. If so, how do I find it?

This application is very well available, just not preinstalled on your mac.
It costs $19 dollars on the Mac app store and is worth every penny.
