Keyboard becomes intermittent during data entry or when asleep

I am having some intermittent keyboard issues. It happens on multiple apps but mostly in Excel. Sometimes I can jump out of a cell then go back and it's working again. Also, sometimes when I'm entering data, the computer crashes to blue screen with log in window and sometimes, when sleeping, I can't wake the computer either by keyboard, mouse or plugging/ unplugging USB devices. I have to shutdown with power button and restart. Any suggestions?........Thanks, Rick

HI Rick,
Try resetting the SMC. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
And reset the PRAM and NVRAM also. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
It's time to check the hard disk for errors.
Restart your Mac while holding down the C key, pressing the power button and inserting your install disk all at the same time. An Installer window will open, but do not proceed with any installations. Instead, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities > Disk Utility. In the Disk Utility window click First Aid, and then click Verify. If Disk Utility reports errors, click Repair. When Disk Utility is finished, from the Menu Bar, select Utilities/Startup Disk. Select MacintoshHD 10.x.x and click Restart.

ADF 10g Allow Multiple Date Formats During Data Entry

We would like the ability to allow users to enter a date in several different formats. When they tab from the date field (or click out), we would like a custom java method (which we can write) to execute which analyzes what they typed and formats the date as MM/dd/yyyy. Can we do this and how do we get it to execute BEFORE any other validators and/or converters? A simple example is this: the user enters a forward slash (/) into a date field, they tab out, and we populate the date field with the current date.
Any help and/or ideas is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tracy

Hi,
actually you will write your own converter and use this instead of the default converter. This is the way you do it. It also ensures that the timing between validation a conversion is fine

"Online documentation" customer specific guideline during data entry inHFM

Hi Community,
I am looking for solutions:
A customer wants to set up something like an "online documentation", meaning when entering data on an account in HFM they want to “jump” into the
Descriptions, Booking examples of their accounting guideline which should be stored as document or a kind of online text.
Currently they are having a .pdf (their IFRS Guideline) in workspace, but they want to make it more interactive for their users like e.g. a online docu
or jumping in a document directly to a specific position of their guideline.
Do you have experiences from the field on how other customers have solved this?
Thank you very much in advance!

hello
The master record of a customer account cannot be archived immediately. The system first has to check whether the following requirements have been met:
The account must not contain any transaction figures in the system. Transaction figures from previous years that have not been archived will also prevent the system from deleting the account master record.
The account must be marked for deletion in its master record.
You should block an account for posting before you mark it for deletion. The only effect this deletion flag has is to cause a warning to be issued every time you subsequently try to post to this account.
You can delete the test data before going live with your system

Form created in LC8.2 hangs during data entry

While the user is filling out the form, the file hangs for a couple of seconds and then allows filling in of another field. This makes filling in the form an incredibly long task. What would cause this? Any way to fix this problem? I am using a PC with Windows 7.

worklist or template, just having these informations in the data entry area when starting

Many thanks for your answer!

Data entry issue in CATS

Dear All,
when i enter time (hours) in data entry sheet.. system says "Enter relevant working time attributes" I really dont know where i have done mistake.
Im using fields Pernr.name,controling area, tasklevel, task type, task component and attendance/ absence type in data entry sheet.
when i enter time only with controling area and attendace type, its accepting the time data but if i assigned task leave, task type and task component, then only system thooughing an error msg "*Enter relevant working time attributes".
I have checked all asignement with task type,tasklevel and task component.. which all ar correct but i dont knw why this msg coming..
can any one help me???
thanks,
Manjula.

Hi Manju..
I think there is an problem in tasktype component.. check whether you have activated 'component task type 'activated or not.. if you activated the check box.. then you just maintained abbsence / attendance type or wage type and also check the default vaule in the profile settings.
try and let me knw..

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts. I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly i

Hi I'm running Addressbook and cannot clear previous entry easily when searching my data base of around 5,000 contacts.
I prefer to view in All contacts on a double page spread with details on the right page. Searching doesn't seem to work correctly in this view.
It's always the second search that is problematic.
I've tried typing over and all it seems to do is confine the search to the the entries that have come up for the previous search.
I've tried to use the x to clear the previous entry and then type the next search, same problem. The only way seems to be to move from "All Contacts" to "Groups". Then the searched name appears and I can return to All Contacts to see full details.
Surely three key press' are not the way it's supposed to work?

Bug report: Controls in the Data Entry property page reset when using relative time

Create a blank VI.
Drop a numeric control.
Right click and select "Display Format".
Change to a relative time.
Switch to the "Data Entry" tab page.
Uncheck the "Use Default Limits" boolean.
Try changing the values and you will see that they return to their previous values (inf, by default). This persists even after pressing OK and opening the dialog again. It looks like the values are held in a cache and put back into the controls, since if you change a page and go back to the limits page, it shows the correct values. I also managed to get it to display the values using the correct format (relative time), which I assume is what it should be doing.
This is in LabVIEW 8.6.

Relative Time Data Entry Bug.vi ‏5 KB

I spent some time playing around with this in 8.6.1, and at this time do not consider it a bug - unless there is something I completely missed.
When you set to relative time, the inputs for data entry are expecting HH:MM or HH:MMS, depending on which display setting you chose. Typing a '7' is undefined - does the user mean hours? Minutes? Seconds? Parsecs ?
Once we type in a value that matches the format and we get the display to change, it is true that from now on if we type '7' in the field, it will automatically coerce it to 7:00, if we type 36 it coerces to 36:00. If we type 7.5, it does not change the value at all. I think at this point, the user knows what is going on, so this behavior is acceptable. After accepting the changes and re-opening the properties window, the limits are persistent.
I was not able to reproduce typing a '7' in the limit, having it automatically coerce back to '-inf', then going to a different tab or clicking ok, and coming back and seeing it as 7:00. It was still '-inf'. If you have some more details on this, maybe I can reproduce it, but from everything I tried, users are be able to enter values and these values are saved.
Edit - I am aware of the other forum post and the CAR filed there...

Sometimes my keyboard becomes unresponsive when using Photoshop CS6, & I have to restart

Since I upgraded to Photoshop CS6, I've found that every once in a while the keyboard becomes unresponsive. I can't tell whether anything specific that I'm doing triggers it, but I'll be editing an image and will press a shortcut key and find it doesn't work. It doesn't happen when I first open up an image, but usually after I've been working for a while. As far as I can tell (it's pretty random) it seems to happen when I'm using a tool to apply an effect to an image, like this last time it happened when I'd been using the Spot Healing Brush repeatedly on a photograph. (Of course that could be correlation without causality, since I'm a big fan of the Spot Healing Brush and tend to use it quite a bit whenever I'm editing photos). Note that the modifier keys still function, but all of the letter and number keys are unresponsive.
Sometimes - and lately it seems like it happens always, there's a sound associated with the shut off. It's possible that the times I didn't hear the sound I had my speakers off. It's a brief clicking noise - and I don't think it's any of the built-in alert sounds on my Mac, since I just listened to all of them and I recall this sound being different - but the sound is definitely coming from my speakers and is not a mechanical sound from the machine. I have no idea what might be causing this. I saw someone complaining of this a couple of years ago, who thought it might have to do with a Wacom tablet. I own one, but don't always use it, and this happens even when I'm not using it. The only way I've found to get my keyboard responding again is to shut down Photoshop and restart.
I'm on a Macbook Pro, 2.66 GHz Intel Core i7, with 8GB Ram; I'm on OS X 10.7.4 (not quite ready to upgrade to Mountain Lion).

Okay - it looks like I've solved my own problem after a few hours searching for related problems on the web. It's not a problem with Photoshop but with Mac OS X. The default "Universal Access" mouse and trackpad preferences were set to "Press the Option Key five times to turn Mouse Keys On or Off." So when I use a tool that I'm modifying with the option key, and I use it repeatedly five times in a row, I hear the clicking sound that means turn on "Mouse Keys" (and turn off the regular keys). Turn off that option, and the problem is solved!

Sometimes this is caused by a screen protector on the phone. I have no idea how it happens, but I have read of people having the same problem and they got it to go away by removing or replacing the screen proctector.

Windows 8 Pro tablet - Syclo screen layout not displayed properly data entry

Hi Team,
We are working on the windows 8 pro tablet to test the standard
service manager 4.2 application
During the testing in windows 8 Pro tablets, when we want to enter any data in syclo screen with the help of tablet’s keyboard, the input
fields becomes so small that we are not able to enter the data.
Is there any configuration which can be done so that the screen isclearly visible when data entry is made in the syclo screen.
If anyone has faced similar issue please share how to over come this.
Please advice
Thanks
Neha

Hello Phil,
Command bars were deprecated and shouldn't be used any longer. Instead, you need to use the Fluent UI (aka Ribbon UI) instead. You can read more about the new UI in the following series of articles in MSDN:
Customizing Context Menus in Office 2010
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 1 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 2 of 3)
Customizing the 2007 Office Fluent Ribbon for Developers (Part 3 of 3)
As a workaround you can add a custom control to the context
menu with the getEnabled or getVisible callback which will be invoked before the context menu is shown.

How to add new data entry and display old data in the same screen in SM30?

Hi, Experts:
We need to use SM30 to maintain a table entry. When I click the button of "New Entries", the table screen becomes blank. I can only add new data but not be able to see the old data existing in the table.
How can I have the new line available for me to add new data at the same time see the data currently existing in the table?
Thanks,
Jenny

Hi, thanks for the reply!
Just to follow up for what we did to disable the delete function for maintaining table records. We hided the Delete button by adding a "MODULE disable_delete" code in Screen Painter. So now only adding records to the table is allowed.
Thanks,
Jenny

Check Duplicate data during data key-in Multi Record Block

Dear all,
I have a situation where i have to check duplicate data entry(on a particular field,which is a mandatory field,i.e. it cannot be skipped by user without entering value) while data key-in in a Multi Record block.
As for reference I have used a logic,such as
1>In a When-Validate-Record trigger of that block I am assigning the value of that current item in Table type variable(collection type)
as this trigger fire every time as soon as i leave that record,so its assigning the value of that current time.And this process continues
then
2>In a When-Validate-Item trigger of that corresponding item(i.e. the trigger is at item level) has been written,where it compares the value of that current item and the value stored in Table type variable(collection type) of When-Validate-Record trigger.If the current item value is matched with any value stored in Table type variable I am showing a message of ('Duplicate Record') following by raise_form_trigger failure
This code is working fine for checking duplicate value of that multi record field
The problem here is that suppose if usee gets a message of ('Duplicate Record') and after that without saving the values if user try to query of that block then also when validate item fired where as I am expecting ORACLE default alert message('Do You want to save?'),I want to restrict this When-Validate Item fire during query time..........................while user try to query.
Please give me a meaningful logic or code for solving this problem
Any other logic to solve this problem is also welcome

When-Validate-Record trigger
When-Validate-Item triggerThat smells like Oracle Forms...
