IE 8 seems to be less help for a rounded table corner...

Hi, I'm using DW CS3 on an intel iMac and first, 2 things: I use tables to build my sites (there's some CSS around here and there + a couple of external style sheets etc) and secondly, the problem I'm asking about here does not seem to occur at all on Firefox and Safari - only IE 8.
Also, I make simple 30 x 30 pixel Gifs (with transparency) to manufacture rounded table corners without CSS.
Simply put, the bottom right part of the main white table is missing its smooth white line near the corner on some pages, so that there's a chopped off part near the corner.
A couple of the pages look fine in IE 8, but the others have that chopped area. And that is what perplexes me because I'm using a DWT Dynamic Web template for all the pages (except the single photo rendering pages in the DW-FW-generated photo Gallery). So why would some pages appear cohesive and the others cut out?
Here's the site url: Http://www.clairefrazier.com
Anyways, I appreciate any help on this. Many Thanks, Frank B.

Try this and don't forget to get the HTC file for IE.

Search Help for Domain in Table View

Hi,
I have to give a search help for one column in a table view, and the values in the search help should come from a domain. I wrote this code, but it doesn't seem to work:
lv_str_index = iv_index.
CONDENSE lv_str_index.
CONCATENATE 'table[' lv_str_index '].OP1A' INTO ls_map-context_attr.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'OPERATOR'.
APPEND ls_map TO lt_inmap.
CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor
    TYPE
      cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    EXPORTING
      iv_help_id                  = 'ZOPERATOR'
      iv_help_id_kind             = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_dtel
      iv_input_mapping            = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping           = lt_outmap.
the ZOPERATOR is my domain. OP1A is the context attribute. I am actually not sure what to give for F4_ATTR.
Please help...
Thanks....

Hi
Instead of the Domain , use the Data Element which uses that particular Domain ZOPERATOR.
For Example ZDE_OPERATOR is the data element which uses the Domain ZOPERATOR.
then
lv_str_index = iv_index.
CONDENSE lv_str_index.
CONCATENATE 'table[' lv_str_index '].OP1A' INTO ls_map-context_attr.
ls_map-f4_attr      = 'OPERATOR'.
APPEND ls_map TO lt_inmap.
CREATE OBJECT rv_valuehelp_descriptor
    TYPE
      cl_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr
    EXPORTING
      iv_help_id                  = 'ZDE_OPERATOR'
      iv_help_id_kind             = if_bsp_wd_valuehelp_f4descr=>help_id_kind_dtel
      iv_input_mapping            = lt_inmap
      iv_output_mapping           = lt_outmap.

was just loading indesign and cannot start it. seem to have no rights for some presets. i deinstalled and installed new, same problem. who can help?

Not easy if vital information is missing. Sometimes it seems like people are using the internet the first time...
What version of Indesign?
What OS? "Rights" sounds like Windows
What is happening when starting it?
If Windows, where was it installed?
If Windows, do you have admin permissions?

I am not certain this will fix your problem but I suggest you assign the printer a static IP address.
Using the printer's front panel, select Menu > Network > WLAN > TCP/IP > Boot method, and change it to "static". Provide a static IP address that is on your LAN's subnet.
For example, if you are using an AirPort Extreme, you might give it an IP address of 10.0.1.100. If you are using a Netgear or Linksys router that defaults to issuing 192.168.x.x addresses, you might give it an address of 192.168.1.100. That way, the printer will always "reside at the same address" on your network. If your router has the ability, you should reserve that address so that the router does not attempt to assign it to another DHCP device.
Then, go to System Preferences > Print & Scan, and delete your existing printer with the "–" (minus) button. Add it again, using the "+" (plus) button. In the window that appears, select the IP pane, and from the Protocol menu select "Line Printer Daemon (LPD)". In the Address field type the IP address you gave your printer.
If all goes well the "Pring Using" field will detect the printer at that address and automatically select the appropriate driver. You will see something similar to the following screenshot ("name" can be whatever you decide, and "location" is optional):
Click Add, then you can close System Preferences.
There are other possible reasons your printer is "not responding" which could include wireless interference from competing wireless networks, but try this "static IP" method first. It should mitigate the problem.

Help For a (Somewhat) Newbie

First, with all the Posts I see here, this topic may very well have already been covered, so I apologize in advance if it has.
I recently purchased a Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router. I am currently using a Linksys BEFSR41 (wired) Router, so I am somewhat familiar with how they work.
I purchased the Linksys WRT54G Wireless Router so that I could connect with my Son's Dell Laptop (wirelessly). Right now, there's a 50 foot cable leading from the BEFSR41 to his bedroom.
The BEFSR41 installed flawlessly, as I recall. Just hook the cable modem to the proper port, 1 cable to my computer, and 1 to his, install the software, and it works flawlessly.
When I tried to install the WRT54G, I ran the software, hooked the cable modem to the [proper] port, then hooked the cable to my computer and.....NOTHING! No cable connection, Zilch! I even tried using the Network Connection Wizard (WinXP w/ all current SP's).
One thing I didn't do. I didn't purchase a separate network or USB antenna for the laptop, as it has wireless networking built in. Second, I'm using "Pure Networks Port Magic," a little gift which materialized from AOHell at some point in time.
I've never gone into the inner workings of either Router, other than type the classic 132.168.1.1 or whatever just to see what was in there. I've never "tinkered" with any of the settings.
Any help appreciated. The directions seem pretty straightforward and lead me to believe that it practically sets itself up.
Bob

Many cable ISPs lock down the internet connection to a single device at a time. For that they remember the MAC address of the router or computer which is connected to the modem. They usually reset this after some time of inactivity or sometimes when you power down and up everything again.
Thus you could just power down everything and wait a night to see if the WRT connects then.
The alternative is to change the MAC address on the WRT to the MAC address of the BEF. You can use the MAC address clone function in the router through http://192.168.1.1/ Clone the MAC address of the BEF which should be printed underneath the router.
Another alternative could be to set the WRT up as access point behind the BEF. (Be sure to deactivate the MAC address clone on the WRT again if you tried it before!) See this post for how to setup the WRT as access point behind the BEF.
This kind of setup has the advantage for you that you are more free to position the WRT in the best location for your whole home.
As you are running a cable at the moment anyway: if your son does some gaming or other bandwidth intensive things he will probably more happy with the wired connection than the wireless. Depending on the obstacles between router and computer and other wireless networks in the proximity the wireless signal can degrade quickly leaving you with 1 Mb/s or less. For any online game that will be not enough...

About (not) getting help for Design Premium CS4 [very long post]

If what i've heard on numerous occasions is true, and I really hope it is, Adobe spends a lot time, energy, emotion and effort on their Customer support system. In an effort to provide a bit of insight "from the trenches" I've spent the last hour sifting through Adobe's website trying to find an email where I could send a bit of critique regarding the quality of Adobe's Tech Support and I've come to the conclusion that these forums are a paying customer's only outlet. As part of my job training, I take a lot of notes whenever anything gets done over the phone. This then is a full transcript of the arduous process I had to go through in order to try and fix the infamous "licence has expired" issue. I'm not necessarily looking for feedback, I just want somebody at Adobe to see this and realise how much money is being wasted on a very dysfunctional "Support Service".
Adobe tech support notes:
How can the ball be dropped to this extent?
Friday, April 2nd
10:00   Installed the suite on the office's new design computer after using the trial editions until they expired. None of the programs in the suite will run because the licence is "expired".
11:30   Not knowing if it might somehow be related to there being leftover files from the trial editions (which I didn't uninstall) I uninstall everything and install again.
13:10 I receive the same error message. Tech support principally led to a waste of a day due to the way that Adobe's databases seem to catalogue customers. According to Jay Lopez, our suite wasn't registered to my boss (Doc) it was registered to Ken Schoepp, who hasn't worked here in about 8 years, since he was one of the earlier names connected to this address. It took about 2 hours and 2 transfers to figure this out.
15:30   I finally get transferred to tech support.
15:51   TS answers.
            It takes 2 hours to assess what the problem is and suggest that I should do a full uninstall and reinstall of the suite, regardless of the fact that I did that before calling TS. 2nd installation fails to solve the problem whereby the suite won't load up (as expected). I'm given some instructions as to what files to remove that may contain registration information and could possibly prevent the program from running. Tech support hangs up as their shift is soon over but they assure me that this thrid installation of the day should fix the problem. To speed up the installation I copy the files onto the HDD.
17:15   For some unknown reason, Setup.exe crashes crashes at about 65% of initialisation. That's right, the installer can't even run!

8:37     Calling TS
8:45     Don answers
8:51     Get informed that I was somehow routed to CS instead of TS. The case id I provided requires solutions that he can't provide,           Don will transfer the call to TS.
8:53     Jitesh gives me a new case id before putting me on hold as he reads the case file.
9:05     Informs me that since my call deals with an installation issue I need to be transferred to another department. In response to           my comment that I've already been misrouted twice today Jitesh says he will contact the department personally in order to           transfer me more quickly as I'm already in their service.
9:13     Just before hanging up Jitesh mentions that there are only 12 calls ahead of me in the queue.
9:19     Rohan Subba answers. After reading the file he asks if I would accept sharing my desktop in order for him to look at the root             of the issue using Acrobat Pro Meeting.
9:26     With files installed, logging in to "adobesupport.na5.acrobat.com" as guest.
            As things are not working as expected, Rohan places me on hold as he goes to look up solutions.
9:31     Back from checking resources, try them out, still don't have access to some files due to lack of permissions.
9:36     Comes back with instructions on how to setup the Windows7 super admin account which should give me full access to the             locked out files.
9:42     Logged in as admin. More hair pulling as we try to configure the permissions properly.
10:02   File sharing finally works and he downloads the installation log files. As we attempt to change permissions to access other            files I ask why it is has taken 13 hours of TS and 4 techs before someone suggests using Adobe Connect Pro Meeting since it            seems like a great way to gain access to files. Rohan's answer: Due to the solution chain, TS had to try other options           before going for the ACPM.
Over the next hour we try various things to get rid of the files that are blocking the re-installation of Premium Suite. I'm instructed to download the "Windows Installer Cleanup Utility" and "adobeCS3cleanscript" even though I'm running CS4. The trial versions I was using were also CS4. I'm assured that the CS3script works just fine for CS4 removal. It gets run with option 1, once, and twice with option 2, rebooting between each pass.
11:01      Realisation sets in. "I'm sorry, I cannot resolve this issue and I will escalate your call to Tier 2 TS". Initially he asks           if Thursday is good for the follow-up call but I inform that I will not be there on that day and that I am the only one at the office           who can handle these types of technical calls.
11:05     Comes back on the line and informs me that T2 TS will contact me on Friday.
Spent the remainder of the day reading online, chasing possible solutions. Found out about a hidden option 3 for Cleanscript, run it twice, still no improvement. Having been shown the location of the installation log I sift through it and research 1) where each of the offending registry key is, 2) how to change permissions to the offending keys so I can delete them. Thanks to google and other people who've had the same issues I'm having and followed by blogging about it.
In total, 22 registry keys blocked the installation. Because each key would cause the installer to lock up and quit It took 6 hours to run the installer 22 times until it crashed in order to find and eliminate each one. When they were all taken care of, only 4 Premium suite modules wouldn't install: Flash, Flash Player, Acrobat and Air.
Progress at last.
Thursday, April 8th
Mesum, a resolution specialist, calls work asking to speak to Doc about our case. According to him there is no mention of a contact person (me) or a date for a call back. When asked probing questions about these discrepencies Mesum says that seeing as how Adobe TS are trained to exacting standards and that note taking is a very important part of the job there is no way that this break down happened on their end. If the information my boss is referring to is "not in the file" then it MUST be false. The obvious answer, according to Mesum, is that whoever made the appointment with Adobe didn't take down good notes. As a T2 specialist he "...makes it a point to always return the call at the arranged time". I don't have the notes regarding everything that was said that day but from talking to Doc on the following day I gather that Mesum made other comments to bring into doubt the quality of Aararat's (the company I work for) training, their note taking skills and the quality of their employees. Not once did he take any hint of responsibility for the communication screw-up. Mesum will be calling me back on the Friday (as was originally written down in our file) and provides a new case id before hanging up.
Friday, April 9th
12:01     Mesum call and wastes no time in trying to resolve the issue. I inform of the progress I made yesterday (independently).
12:08     Error :2 shows up again. Instructs me to clear the temp folder, the cache and to verify that the print spooler           service is enabled. It is.
12:21      While the system is rebooting, Mesum mentions that the "very detailed conversation" he had the previous day and asks if           I have been briefed about it. I explain that I have been briefed (neglecting to mention that I am the one who made the              appointment and took copious notes about all my TS conversations, including this one) and that I hoping to get this issue           resolved once and for all. Mesum makes a grandstanding comment about how "he makes it a point to always return the call at           the arranged time as these calls are very important and it is crucial that they get resolved". He then goes on about the           lenghts Adobe has gone to in order to create a support chain to make sure that if an issue is unresolved on either end of the           chain, that this lack of resolution can be tracked down.
Error:2 indicates that we are still having registry blockage issues. In response to my question whether there might be a full list of the registry keys that Adobe Premium suite injects during an installation Mesum responds that techs have been given very strict and specific instructions about tampering with the windows registry (which is odd considering 3 days prior a tech dove right into     registry editing) he proposes that I instead uninstall Flash, Flash player and Adobe Air.
13:07   Since the uninstaller won't run for just the 3 modules, Mesum asks that I uninstall everything once again. I am then to only           start by installing Acrobat first, and only Acrobat, before installing the rest of the suite. Because this process will take a long           time and Mesum has other calls to make he leaves me to this numberless installation being fairly certain that this will solve the           issue. He adds that such problems are very frequent with Acrobat. Should his proposed course of action not solve the issue I           can type up a follow-up response by going to www.adobe.com/go/supportportal. I am to expect a follow-up call on Monday.
13:22   Because I was really not looking forward to going through another round of uninstalling and reinstalling, I attempt to run flash             one last time prior to starting the cycle. Run into error:5
            reboot
13:29   Error:5 again. Time to uninstall once more.
13:35   Error while uninstalling. Nothing to do but click continue and see how it goes.
13:53   Uninstall finished with problems, running it again. Adobe Sing is still showing as an installed component.
13:55   Uninstall with errors. Flash Plug-in will not uninstall. Running Uninstaller again.
13:59   Uninstaller fails again. Decide to go and manually delete files and folders inspecting each one by one.
Spent the rest of the afternoon going through the install logs like I did on April 6th, unlocking ownership and deleting corrupted keys one at a time.
18:08   The whole Suite finally installs except for Flash and Indesign.
18:47   After hunting down more keys, the installer completes with errors but at least all the programs are installed. Acrobat, Air, Flash plug-in are still not installed properly.

8:20     Call tech support
While on hold I try to find my ticket on the support portal using the case id's I've been given. None of them show up on the system. Basically, I'm stuck to using phone support.
9:23     TS answers. Sanjay
9:28     After Sanjay has verified the case id, I provide him with an update to the file regarding what I've done since I hung up on Friday, describing the new issues.
9:34     Placed on hold
9:42     Comes back and explains that this issue will require more consultation with his seniors. To make sure that he looks up the            right issue I repeat the exact problem I would like him to research. Three times he repeats the information back to me just a           little differently. Finally on the 4th repetition of the problem I'd like addressed he "gets it" and thanks me for "providing that           pertinent information".
What I don't understand is that I repeated the same information that he repeated back to me 4 times before he seemed to understand what his notes told him he should be researching. From the heaviness of his accent I suspect that their was a bit of language barrier here.
9:48     Places me on hold
9:59     Comes back with a possible solution.
10:08   As his solution requires me to delete files I don't have access to due to lack of permissions, his solution can't be applied. He places me on hold.
10:11   Comes back, with another possible solution.
10:17   Still not working. I ask how I can change administrator settings for specific files    and he needs to go check articles again.           Shouldn't this type of knowledge just come off the top of his head if he's in TS? Sanjay just walks away at this point,           not asking to put me on hold nor placing the call on hold. I can hear conversations in the background the whole time.
10:24   Comes back, thanking for staying on hold (even though I wasn't). This time he asks me to look for specific adobe folders. I           can't delete them because I'm supposedly not an administrator, even though I'm logged in using the enabled super-admin           account. He tells me I need to type a very specific command at the command prompt to reset the admin account. I thought           that's what he was going to research the last time he left so I ask what I have to type at the command line to do this. Sanjay           doesn't and asks if he can put me on hold again. I politely and calmly answer that no, I don't want to be put on hold. Every time           I've asked him a question he's had to go in order to talk to his seniors (as he calls them). If possible, why not escalate my call           and put me in touch with one of these seniors or a manager in order to minimise the amount of time I will be placed on hold. He           puts me on hold.
10:34   Ashima comes on the line. Unlike Sanjay, she sounds confident and authorative.
10:44   After discussing what I'm trying to do she informs that not being able to delete files and folders is a Windows issue, not an           Adobe issue. Even after I mention that a previous tech had helped me solve a similar problem in the previous week and try to           reason that since it's Adobe uninstaller that caused this issue she sticks to her claim that it's a Windows issue and that she           cannot help me resolve the issue. I am to contact Microsoft tech support in order to get help with this issue.
12:17   Call Microsoft technical support
12:23   Jacqueline answers. I describe the problem I'm having with managing permissions in Windows 7 and that I've been told that I           resetting the admin account should solve this problem. She seems to agree and asks for my Windows serial number before we           can start working on the issue. Upon finding out that I have an OEM version of Windows, Jacqueline informs me that I have 2           options: look online or pay 59$ per call on credit card for support as free support is not provided to OEM licences since they are           typically only installed by resellers and assumed to be serviced by them. Sadly, this is not my case.
12:31   Having repeated my options back to Jacqueline to make sure I understood her correctly I inform her that I will terminate the           call since I will not be paying for paying and therefore will go online for help. She sounds surprised at how quickly I made           my decision, wishes me good luck and the call is ended.
13:30     Started researching a solution. I find what I need to know and apply it, managing to reclaim ownership of the files and           folders. Run the installer again and everything installs now except for the Acrobat, Air and Flash plug-in.
Tuesday, April 13
15:30   Since I haven't received a call back from Mesum I try to find our case information on the Adobe Support Portal. I figure that           Mesum probably needed me to contact him prior to today in order to confirm whether the solution worked or not. Logging in           with the email address we used to register our software and log our support calls is unsuccessful. Either the password is wrong           or the email is not active. Seeing as we have 2 other office emails with which Adobe products have been registered over the           years I log on with them to see if we have pending cases on either of them. negative. Just to test something out I attempt           logging in to the original email from another computer. While I can't log in I no longer get the message that the email isn't           related to an active customer account, just that the password is wrong. Resetting password. Still can't login.
16:06   Starting LiveChat with Adobe to see if they can help. On hold.
16:12   Connected. explain the situation.
16:19   Says the password is reset from their side. Try it and doesn't work.
16:22   I tell Live Chat the reset didn't work, and wait for response.
16:29   He assures me it's been reset and that I should try again.
16:30   Try it to connect via two other computers. Fail. Inform him again. Wait.
16:36   Informs me I will need to call Phone Support. I ask if he can connect me.
16:38   No, he cannot connect me. There is no Live Chat Tech Support. Due to the amount of lag between responses I ask if how many           chat sessions he works on at the same time.
16:41   Answer: three at a time.
16:45   Finish typing comment and suggestion about possibly reducing that number because the amount of lag time for simple           requests is just too much.
16:46   Final response and goodbye.
16:47   Call Phone Support
16:50   Jerry in the Philippines. I explain the issues I've been having with our account and the failure to reset the password. Jerry puts a note in the file and that he'll look into it.
16:58   Puts me on hold as he goes to explore.
17:01   Comes back, can't see any issues. Asks me for permission to logon to the client account by using our email and password. I           accept. He logs on and sees that there are in fact no pending cases that show up in our client account, even though we have           multiple concurrent case id's showing on his side. He says he'll look into it.
17:07   Client login issue is unresolved but at least I'm getting transferred to TS.
17:23   Panpaj answers. I explain the situation and provide case id.
17:38   He provides a new case id. I have to describe the whole case history.
17:46   On hold.
17:52   Turns out I was transferred to the Acrobat specific TS. Seeing as how my installation problems aren't dealing specifically           with Acrobat he can't help me. He will transfer me to general TS.
18:16   Animesh answers. explain the situation and provide case id.
18:20   Puts me on hold as he reads the file.
18:22   Repeats the problem as described according to the file.
18:30   Puts me on hold as he goes to find articles.
18:36   Asks me to share the desktop. Connecting to connectteam.acrobat.com
18:44   Upload of log file complete, reading over it.
18:48   Sharing screen caps of installation error messages. I've been thoroughly documenting each and every single one. Instructs me           to download and AdobeCS4cleanscript. When I explain that I've already used the CS3 version I'm informed that the CS3 version           should never be used to try and clean up a CS4 installation since it won't work.
18:56   I'm informed that TS closes at 19:00 and that he won't be able to finish this call. However, if I read article kb 401401 I should           find some steps that will solve the issues that I'm experiencing.
19:01   While looking for the article I inform him that I can't access my TS updates on the           Support Portal and that in a previous call Phone Support was not able to explain          why. Might he have any idea why? He says he'll check it out.
19:05   "That's odd. I'll add this complaint to the file."
            Animesh adds that If this knowledge base article does not resolve the issue, I should make sure to call back. He's added a note in the file to automatically escalate my call to Tier3 TS.
            "What? There's a T3?" I ask. "Why has it taken 2 weeks to get this call escalated to tier 3?"
            He apologizes if this taken so long to be escalated but there are definite checks and procedures that need to be followed before a call can be escalated to Tier 3.
April 15th
11:10   Starting new uninstall of CS4
11:20   Uninstaller error with InDesign.
11:31   Running CS4cleanscript, all options.
11:49   Completed running CS4cleanscript followed by a manual clean-up of remaining folders. Starting a new install.

Questions and suggestions to Adobe
In spite of not having my issue corrected I must say that the politeness of every representative was exemplary.
While I realise software piracy is a big issue, why is it that pirates don't struggle with your DRM system yet legal users do? Either scrap your current DRM and replace it with something that will not cripple a system if an installation goes wrong or change your installers.
Software suites are convenient yes but there are now so many modules that come bundled with the suite that seem utterly pointless because the documentation for them is sorely lacking an "at a glance" explanation of features, benefits and purpose. Adobe Air, Sing, Version Cue and Bridge come to mind. Don't you think cutting down on module bloat would make interoperability an easier thing to manage and maintain?
As a user who has multiple hard drives in his system (one each for the OS, applications and project data) I don't like installers that place files all over my system without my consent. If an installer asks for a destination folder, ALL programs should go into that folder. Files and programs that are shared across the suite for added functionality or registration purposes should ask for a user-specified shared folder (in case there is one) rather than just go into the (assumed) default.
Why is the Support DB's search function so useless? I've tried (and tried, and tried, and tried...) to find useful solution articles but something is just plain wrong with your search algorithms. I've tested this. Pick an article at random, then do a search for it's title. Too often the search engine won't even find it. The only time searches work is if one has the precise number of the article, such as KB 401401.
The amount of checks and procedures required for service escalation needs to be streamlined in order to speed up the process. It took too long to get to the right Tier. By the time I was finally escalated to Tier 3 your support services had eroded all of their credibility.
Practices and procedures (P&P) need to be more uniform. I have one tech telling me to use one version of clean script and claiming it's fine whereas another claims that only the CS4 script would work to resolve my issue. Why is this? What does this reveal about levels of training? There is also large gaps in the knowledge of individual representatives. As should be expected, some representatives knew exactly what to do and how to do it without having to resort to articles every 3 minutes. Others, such as Sanjay, either need to be retrained or let go. His lack of knowledge was thoroughly exasperating.
The case id system needs to be reworded. Over these 2 weeks I was given 4 case id's, none of which ended up showing up in the support portal for follow-up. Furthermore, note taking seems to be a problem because there was a lot of information that just never seemed to make it "in the file".
Why do calls get transferred to the wrong department so often?
In Closing
Due to having more pressing matters to attend to at work and seeing as how I could not afford to spend any more time fixing the harm that was brought on by carrying out the suggested "solutions" I have not called back since April 15th. The suite runs "with quirks" and will stay that way until I rebuild the system because it seems that the only solution that remains regarding the installation woes is to wipe the drive and start from scratch.
Thank you for reading this whole transcript. I hope it helps you improve your customer service experience.

Thank you for the sympathy and the information about the Adobe.com forum Michael.
I posted here because, to be honest, for a company that's acknowledged their installers and updaters and support needs some work, they seem very determined to obfuscate the means by which users can provide direct feedback to the company. Much like you, I've also noticed a trend in CS5 installations that mirrors the issues that were present in CS4. it's a sad state of affairs.
As for my installation, you are also quite right to say that a clean install would have been a lot faster than what I went through with TS and it was actually my first idea. Before calling TS I'd actually read through the forums and noticed that a large number of users who were faced with my situation had no other choice but to reformat. I was just giving Adobe the benefit of the doubt and wasted 2 and a half weeks through that course of action...
What makes this situation even more frustrating is that the installer failed on a fresh system. It was a custom-built design machine, assembled and configured by myself. The only software that had been installed on it prior to Design Premium was Firefox, an FTP client and the start of my problems, trial versions of various CS4 programs. I used trials just long enough to retire the previous design computer so that I wouldn't contravene the EULA's stipulation of not running more than one instance of software at the same time on different machines. Turns out being honest once again penalised a legal customer.
If there is just thing users should learn from my far from unique tale of failed tech support it's that if you ever run into a problem with the installation, don't bother calling TS, just reformat and start from scratch. It might seem like it'll take longer to get going again, but in actuality, it's the opposite. Reformatting means you'll be up and running in about 1 or 2 days rather than 2 weeks.

Dynamic value help for a table field to fill two fields, how to?

Hi all gurus,
In SRM 7 I defined a dynamic value help for a single field (ZZ_PROLE_R3) of my header custom table.
That's the code from WDDOMODIFYVIEW in the webdynpro /SAPSRM/WDC_DODC_CT, view V_DODC_CT:
DATA: lo_tabnode        TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE.
      DATA: lo_tabnode_info   TYPE REF TO IF_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_INFO.
      DATA: tab_value         TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE_LIST,
            wa_value          TYPE WDR_CONTEXT_ATTR_VALUE.
      lo_tabnode = wd_context->GET_CHILD_NODE( name = 'THCUS' ). "the custom table node
      lo_tabnode_info = lo_tabnode->get_node_info( ).
      wd_this->GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3( EXPORTING iv_guid = lv_guid
                                        IMPORTING ZZ_PROLE_R3_VALHELP = tab_value ). "this method returns the dyn value table
      lo_tabnode_info->set_attribute_value_set( name = 'ZZ_PROLE_R3'
                                                 value_set = tab_value ).
The method GET_VALHELP_ZZ_PROLE_R3 dynamically builds the value help table tab_value; such table is made up by two fields:
value : contains the value of the field
text   : contains a description of the value
The above solution works; now I'd like to enhance it. The custom table THCUS contains also a field called ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC, which represents the description of ZZ_PROLE_R3. It is, exactly, the TEXT field in tab_value.
So I'd like to do as follows:
- the user clicks on the search help for ZZ_PROLE_R3 field of the table;
- the above described value help appears;
- after the selection, both ZZ_PROLE_R3 and ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC are filled with the selected couple value - text chosen from the value help.
Could anyone help me achieving such a behaviour?
Again, a little request... when I open the above value help dialog box, the window itself has a label "Floorplan Manager application for OIF.." that obviously I'd like to redefine (e.g. "Role selection value help"). Is there any way to do that?
Thanks in advance

It seems to me - given that your code is in wddomodifyview that you are trying to have different dropdowns per row
- I'm not sure where you are populating lv_guid - but I'd guess it is an attribute of the row selected? If it isn't then I can't see any reason that you would do this code in wddomodifyview and not wddoinit.
Hi Chris and thanks for your help,
lv_guid is the GUID of the document's header; I need to pass it to the method that populates my value help table because the values in it are derived from some fields on the document. (the situation actually is more complex; there's an RFC call on the backend for which the document is intended for to retrieve the data that populate the value help...).
I'm quite unexperienced on webdynpro and terminology; if dropdown menus are fixed selection option that appears on a field, I guess this is not my case. I did a pair of screenshot to provide an idea of what the solution by now is, and what "I would like to have":
[Pre-selection (F4 icon on the field in table)|http://imagebin.ca/view/npIsaqF.html]
[Value Help popup for the field ZZ_PROLE_R3|http://imagebin.ca/view/8fZUh3T.html]
[Result by now |http://imagebin.ca/view/3PaqdvE.html]
[Result I'd like to have.|http://imagebin.ca/view/dExR0J.html]
Chris Paine wrote:
However - by your comment on the "value help dialog box" I am guessing you are using an input field? If this is the case then I would strongly suggest that you change/enhance the structure of the context node THCUS (btw, better coding practise to refer to it as wd_this->wdctx_thcus when using the get child node construct) so that you refer to an actual SAP ddic search help, if you then associate in the structure the value and text fields then populating the text field should happen automatically. Also you'd have the nice side effect that your value help dialog would be named after the associated ddic search help.
Thanks for the code suggestion, I'll apply that. For what concerns the context node THCUS... It is, by standard, a node which I can't explictly find in the context for the view V_DODC_CT. The problem is that ZZ_PROLE_R3 and the corresponding description field ZZ_PROLE_R3_DESC of the table must be filled with data retrieved dynamically @ runtime from the backend. So I guess I can't populate a val help referring to a dictionary table/field; I'd rather do as follows:
- retrieve what's the target backend for the document (to do so, I have to process the document .. that's why the header guid passed to my method);
- RFC call to a custom method that extracts possible values for the specific backend;
- bind the ammissible values to the value help.

I realise that this is rather a lot - so if you have any specific question please do respond - hopefully I or someone else will be able to clarify.
Thanks again for your help; additional info as well as code examples would be highly appreciated

Help for a novice

Hi All!
I installed Workflow Server and Workflow Designer and now I'm trying to do
some things with these products in order to evaluate them.
The first thing I want to do is a very simple thing:
User A send an email with an attachment to be reviewed by the User B;
User B has a timeline of 30 minutes;
Then User B has to send back the documents via email to User A if he makes
some changes or send a email in which he said it's all OK with the original
documents.
I find on the SDK some qpacs and, in particular the one called email with
attachments that seems to be the one for me, but I can't do anything.
I RTFM, but I can't start to do something in the right way.
Can someone help me?
Thank you very much,
Alessio
