Is there a way to change the date format so that delegates have to choose a day, month and year from a drop down menu as my delegates keep forgetting to change the year of their information

When my delegates are filling in a event form i have put together, a large number of them forget to change either the month or year on the date field. Is there a way to have a date field that has drop down boxes for day, month and year so they have to choose rather than a date been already on the screen??
Thanks

Hi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
  date:  The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
  first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted):  Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2):  Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3):  Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.
Regards,
Barry

    Is there a way to re set Lightroom to original settings, I have been playing around with it and got to a place I don't know how to get out of. Not very computer savvy

    To begin, quit Lightroom
    On Windows do the following
    Click the Windows start button and in the search box type:-
    %appdata%\adobe\lightroom
    Then press the Return\Enter key
    That will take you to the Lightroom folder (see image below)
    Select the Preferences folder and hit delete to send it to the recycle bin.
    Close the Lightroom folder and re-start the Lightroom program.

  • Selecting the XML data from a drop-down menu or links

    Hi, I have this page:
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volckinv.html
    There are prints of lemons/limes and prints of oranges. I
    want to have the visitor select which kind of fruit from either a
    drop-menu or from two links that look something like this:
    Lemons/Limes | Oranges. Looking at other help docs I found the
    region/state mapping demo at
    http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/samples/data_region/StateMappingSample.html,
    and copied the code and tried to modify it. But I don't really
    understand the technical shorthand of the help docs (an ongoing
    problem I have with the Spry documentation) and I couldn't find the
    XML docs that the region/state mapping demos are based on so I
    couldn't see how they were set up.
    I got as far as this: nothing loads initially when you open
    the page (I'd like the lemons to load), but if you select Oranges
    from the drop-down menu you see the oranges, and THEN once you've
    done that, you can select Lemons/Limes in the drop-down menu and
    see those. I have three XML files I've been playing around with to
    get this to work: lemons.xml, oranges.xml and inventory.xml, which
    combines the two.
    I also suspect region/state mapping might not even be exactly
    what I'm trying to do here, but I can't figure out from the
    documentation exactly what this thing I'm trying to do is called. I
    know the photo album demo accomplishes something similar, and I
    could do that, but it seems way more complicated than what I need
    here (right?). Help will be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Helen

    I made a different test using the file
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/inventory.xml
    and
    http://www.georgeglazer.com/prints/nathist/botanical/volckinv/volcktest.html
    where I sent up the inventory xml form like one I found in the
    Nested XML Data documentation where you have item ids and types, so
    all the oranges and lemons are in one XML document (which I'd
    prefer).
    Here's an abbreviated version of the inventory.xml:
    <inv_items>
    <inv_item id="1" type="lemon">
    <name>Lemons and Limes</name>
    <title>Cedro Ordinario</title>
    <plate>116a</plate>
    <fullimage>pl116a.jpg</fullimage>
    <tn>pl116a-2.jpg</tn>
    </inv_item>
    [and more lemons follow]
    <inv_item id="19" type="orange">
    <name>Oranges and Others</name>
    <title>La Zucchetta Imperiale</title>
    <plate>138a</plate>
    <fullimage>pl138a.jpg</fullimage>
    <tn>pl138a-2.jpg</tn>
    </inv_item>
    [and more oranges follow]
    </inv_items>
    What I'd like to do is display the names "Lemons and Limes"
    and "Oranges and Others" and when you click on "Lemons and Limes"
    you see only the thumbnails for lemons and limes, and when you
    click on "Oranges and Others" you see the thumbnails for only
    those. I'd like the Lemons and Limes to be selected when the page
    is opened.
    Help greatly appreciated!

  • Livecycle: Is there a way to add a new page by choosing what kind of page from a drop down menu

    I am creating a form to be used for patient care,
    I have multiple pages, the first is an information page, second is an evaluation page, the third is a treatment page.
    I am hoping to add a drop down menu (Add New Page) with the following in it:
    1. Treatment Note
    2. Discharge Summary
    3. Treatment Order
    4. Progress Note
    Each of the selections corresponds to a specific page layout.
         ie:  1.  Vitals, signature, etc.
               2. Previous information compared to current status
              3.  Ordering equipment etc.
              4. Updating referral source.
    I am new to this so any help is appreciated, assume I know very little to begin with so specifics on how to create your recommendations are greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    The attached contains a drop-down that sets focus on a text field on the applicable page. The effect is to navigate to the page. The exit event looks like this...
    //form1.page1.subform1.pageSelection::exit - (JavaScript, client)
    switch (this.rawValue) {
    case "Treatment Note":
       xfa.host.setFocus(form1.page2.subform1.someField);
       break;
    case "Discharge Summary":
       xfa.host.setFocus(form1.page3.subform1.someField);
       break;
    case "Treatment Order":
       xfa.host.setFocus(form1.page4.subform1.someField);
       break;
    case "Progress Note":
       xfa.host.setFocus(form1.page5.subform1.someField);
       break;
    default:
       break;
    There are a variety of ways this could be accomplished.

  • Form2mail how do I set up the form to sent to a recipient selected from a drop-down menu?

    I am trying to configure dreamweaver form2mail to be able to send the information submitted to individual employees.  I would like the form to be set up where as you choose the recipient form a drop down menu and the only that recipient would receive the information collected on the form.  I can't seem to find any information on this.  I can only find info on sending to multiple recipients at the same time.  I only want the recipient that is selected to receive the form information.
    Alternatively, can anyone recommend a low cost or FREE form to mail system.
    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Jim, That is exactly what I need.  I'm using Form2Mail the Dreamweaver extension for Adobe Dreamweaver.  It only gives me the option to send to one email address or cc to multiple not individual sends.

  • Drop-down menu in table cells - how to expand over the column width?

    Hello!
    A client is migrating their 2,400 forms from old JetForms to PDF (LiveCycle Designer) and would like to keep the same functionalities he's used to in the old platform. However, some of the old tool features do not seem to be present in LiveCycle.
    Suppose a drop-down menu in a table cell, containing items which lengths are bigger than the table column. In JetForm, when you open the drop-down it spans over the columns to show all its contents, not cutting the drop-down list contents.
    I tried this in LiveCycle, but the drop-down gets cut and its contents are limited to the table column (hence the drop-down menu) width.
    Is there a way to work around this limitation, even if I have to use some scripting?
    Thank you for any ideas!
    Marcos

    Hi again, Niall!
    Thank you again for your great examples!
    The dynamic width drop-down will cover some of the client's expectations.
    However, they would like it to work even when the drop-down is within a table cell with a width smaller than the width they want the drop-down to show when the mouse enters the field.
    I'm afraid you will say this is not possible... Or at least not without a lot of coding, using subforms or the like.
    Any ideas? 
    Thank you very much!

  • On the website bar when i type a letter a list of websites atomatically appear as a drop down menu, how can i erase these website locations?

    I have already used the erase history option but that does not erase locations just the history from search options ect...

    Use these steps to remove saved (form) data from a drop-down list:
    #click the (empty) input field on the web page to open the drop-down list
    #highlight an entry in the drop-down list with the mouse or cursor Down key<br>do not click the mouse or press the Enter key
    #press the Delete key (on Mac: Shift+Delete) to delete the highlighted entry

  • My mail subfolders are missing from the viewing pane, but available from inbox drop down menu. How do I get them back in the viewpane?

    After a restart, all of my mail subfolders are gone from the side view pane. I can pull them down individually from the 'inbox' drop down menu. How do I get them back into the sidebar so I can sort mail out of the inbox?

    No anti virus software running as far as I am aware, as in I didn't launch any before reinstating the search email function.
    I was running a folder repair function on my inbox (which seemed to complete successfully for the emails in the inbox) when I noticed the majority of the mail folders had disappeared.

  • Is there a way to keep selected apps that you have on your admin account inaccessible and unseen from another admin account on the same Mac?

    My sister and I share computers, but it's really her Mac because she got it for her birthday.  I'm using it because there is no other place to hold my iTunes library, documents, photos, etc.
    She complains that I make the computer too slow after I downloaded/installed too many apps from the Mac App Store using my admin account and my iTunes account.   However, they show up on her account as well, and she doesn't want to see them or have her computer slow down, so she deletes them.  Is there a way to make certain apps unseen and inaccessible from other admin users on the same machine?

    Only by storing them on an encrypted disk image. Anyone who has an administrator password to a Mac can use it to access all unencrypted data on the system.

  • I cannot see my bookmarks toolbar - the gap is there for it and it is ticked in View and shows in Booksmarks drop-down menu but is invisible (or gone so far to left that it can't be got at), I think it happened after I added eBay sidebar for Firefox.

    Any help welcome. I have tried just re-starting Firefox and I have tried adding bookmarks to it, but still can't see it.

    This issue can also be caused by a missing "Bookmarks Toolbar items" on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    * Make sure that you have the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • The feature "Mentions" in Facebook does not work and in fact no drop down menu even appears, although it does work in IE.

    Didn't know that I'd have the chance to say more so I pretty much summed it up in the first question. lol! Hopefully all are familiar with the "Mentions" feature on Facebook. It allows you to "tag" a friend when you comment on a post or make a post. The process is that you type "@" and then the first letter of the friend you want to tag, and a drop down appears with all friends starting with that letter. Choose your friend and then make your comment. Their name will not appear in your comment but they will get a notification that it was directed at them.
    My problem is that it simply doesn't work in Firefox although it works fine in IE & Chrome. This seems to only be my problem as others using Firefox are having no problem. What could it be? Thanks!

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
