LR Preferences - Data Entry Bug?

Can anyone supply me with a list, or cite to a list, of preferences in the file "com.adobe.Lightroom2.plist?" I am asking this because no one answered my question about the space bar zoom toggle problem I get from time to time. It stops working every once in a while and I think it happens when I've inadvertently typed a letter that shuts off this function when entering a City or Country name in the Metatdata and the text box de-selects unexpectedly (allowing the letters I'm typing to be used to trigger commands rather than enter text). It starts working again when I substitute my most recently saved backup Preferences file, leading me to believe that I've somehow changed a preference by whatever letters I've entered (not illogical, but not proven). Since I usually don't notice this for a while, I'm not sure what names I've typed so I can't figure out what letters were entered. This is not a biggie but is annoying though it has the side benefit of making me learn things about LR I have chosen to ignore in the past. Another question is whether the de-selection of the City or Country field while I'm typing is a bug or just a way to make me use the accumulated names pop up I've previously entered in these fields with LR presuming this is a good shortcut? iMac 24;3.06 ghz;Snow Leopard.

Hi,
R&D has researched this issue with the pot object. They have edited the pot object to try to fix this problem. So I will post the fixed pot CBX file on our FTP site. We would like it if you could please test this with your applications and ensure that it works okay. If it does work, then we will integrate this new pot CBX in our next fix.
So its absolutely imperative that we get feedback from you on this fix and whether it works well.
To get this fix, go to:
ftp://ftp.ni.com/outgoing and download the file called pot.cbx. Then copy this file to "C:\Program Files\National Instruments\Lookout 6.0". The last part may be different based on your version of Lookout. NOTE: Backup the existing pot.cbx file to another folder in case you need to revert back. This fix has been created for the latest Lookout version (v6.0), but I have tested it successfully in v5.1 and v6.0. We always implement fixes on the latest version of our software, but I think it should work with your version too.
Once this new pot.cbx has been verified by you, we will implement it in our fix. I would recommend re-downloading the fix when it releases. This is why I'm placing the pot.cbx file in the FTP site as a temporary download location.
Thank you for all your help!

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...

Bug with Data Entry Limits properties

When setting programmatically the Data Entry Limit (e.g. maximum range) the value of the control is coerced (response is set to coerce). This is not supposed to be since Entry Limits are only for FP entry.
Checked in 7.1 and 8.6

I agree. This seems like a bug. I checked in 8.6.1f1 on my home PC and it does just what you say.
I also tried to see if the problem occurred on the other end of the range in setting values greater than the Max and then resetting the minimum. And it seemed to behave similiarly. I can only save that back to 8.0 Here is that modification.
I'm a little surprised no one has stumbled across this before if you say it's been around since at least 7.1 We'll see if an NI person takes a close look and agrees it's a bug and will submit a CAR# for it.

Restricting data entry to a particular language in the form

Hi,
I created a multilingual form in which all the fields of the form are in a particular language . Now am trying to restrict data entry in the form to that language at the client side only . Say if it is a form in french, can we restrict the data entry to french only . The approach i was trying to implement was adding a script against the change event of all data fields and see if the characters lie in the range of the language unicode character set . But have not been successful in it yet . Can anybody help me find some way or provide any sample for it ?
Thanks

Hello, I'm German
Probably you can restrict the characters used for text entry, so for example ü is allowed in the German form but not in French.
But you will NEVER be able to restrict the users staying only writing French in French forms 100%.
1) You sometimes, not often, do encounter letters that are not typical for the language. (Though it can appear in any kind of word, it's quite regular for names.)
2) Let's say I fill the French form. I encounter a problem when I type in the word "Müller". This word wouldn't be French at all. The text will be delted and probably given an error message. Well... I learn out of this error message. Next time I'll type Mueller. ^^
(I knew several pages were people were restricted to talk English by forbidding letters that were not used in English very often... That didn't stop us violating that rule. The only error that really bugged us wasn't the restriction in not using letters that don't exist in English but the "please don't swear or insult so." error that kept appearing for ex. when we used the German word for "that" (= "dass"). They just didn't like the last 3 letters.)
3) Many countries have the same or include other countries unicodes. For example English could be written in the German form or in the French form.
4) You can't get out the syslanguage as far as I know. This would be a great hint which language the person is using.
5) I don't think you can use the spellcheck in any way... great violation against spellchecking could also be a hint for another language.
I know a quite big internetcommunity which did try to accomplish the same as you do. After about 2 years and a lot of experiments they stopped their efforts and were content by popping up the random error-messages warning that you don't have to insult, just like those other communities mentioned above. ^^ (Though they tried to restrict the insulting parts to the language used that didn't work out. Too many people knew how to insult in other languages ;D or which words were similar to insults.)
People just never do what they are supposed to do and are quite nasty finding workarounds...
My advice to you would be:
Don't make the effort.
Sorry for not being able to provide you with a solution, but the opposite.

I use an iPhone 5, and want to sync my phone calendar and contacts with Outlook 7 calendar and contacts; two problems--I now get dozens of new calendars every time, and my outlook calendar will not sync at all.; meaning that date entries on Outlook do not come across ot iPhone.

It is unusual for the calendar to sync and not the contacts in Outlook. I've worked with Outlook for years. You didn't answer what computer OS you are using. If it is Windows, have you tried to reset the sync history in iTunes? Do that by opening iTunes, go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and click on reset sync history. If you have done this and it doesn't help, then we can try and run scanpst.exe on your Outlook file and see if there are any errors. Search your computer for that file, however it normally resides in one of the Microsoft Office folders in the folder Program files. After that, you can see if it will sync.

What else must I do to force data entry other than making the field required in LC 9 Forms Designer?

I am trying to make sure that fields are populated with data prior to moving to the next field, but it seems that simply making the field required is not sufficient. What else must I do to enforce data entry within required fileds?
Thank you,

There are a variety of scripting techniques that can be used based upon the form requirements, UI aesthetics, designer preference,... The script below forces data entry into a text field object called 'tf1' but it is a dangerous practice and should be used carefully. You may find yourself in a infinite loop based upon the tab order. A safer pattern includes global field validation upon submit.
// form1.page1.subform1.tf1::exit - (JavaScript, client)
if (this.isNull) {
xfa.host.messageBox("tf1 is a mandatory field.","Text Field 1 Error",0);
xfa.host.setFocus("form1.page1.subform1.tf1");

AppleWorks quits upon an attempt at data entry

Data entry in either an existing or new database or word processing document results in AppleWorks quitting following the 2nd keystroke (with the resultant Restart/Report window).
It appears this is limited to the WP and DB environments, although I seldom use the others, but in creating a new Spreadsheet or drawing/piant document, I'm allowed to create/edit without a failure.
I performed a complete uninstall, deleted the applicable 'recent', pref/plist files, etc. and reinstalled Appleworks 6.2.9 and the problem remained. In the WP or DB environment, new or existing document, following the 2nd keystroke, down goes AppleWorks.
Odd significance: This began immediately following a software update for Security Update 2006-007 and an iTunes update. I perused the forum and saw no other posts that appeared related. Anyone encountered, or heard. of these rather peculiar happenings?
iMac (Intel) Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to Apple Discussions
This is almost certainly due to using a unicode keyboard layout. See my user tip, Since upgrading to Tiger AppleWorks quits when I type, for more information.
Also, any time AppleWorks crashes there is some corruption of its preferences. It's always a good idea to delete the preferences before restarting AppleWorks. There's another user tip on this - AppleWorks has stopped working correctly.

Upload data from excel file to "Fast Data Entry" in FB60

Hi,
I have a requirement from users, they want to load data of G/L accounts items in FB60 using "Fast Data Entry" from an excel file.
I did some research and found out that the framework to transfer clipboard data into an SAP table(http://www.synactive.com/examples/example0016.html) seems to be the suitable solution.
However, I still cannot make it work.
Do you have any suggestion for my case ? How can I load data from an excel file to the transaction FB60?
Thanks in advance,
Hung

Dear Hung,
You can upload data through LSMW (Batch Input).
But you need to convert your excel sheet into CSV format or txt format.
Please take help of your ABAP team if required.
This will accommodate your requirement.

How to select a single row in a report for data entry?

Hello All, and Greetings.
I am a newcomer, with no experience in Apex, and in need of help.
I have to generate a report with some read-only columns and two write columns. These will be the result of a SQL query.
For the sake of robustness in data entry, a row has to be selected prior to data update. The document specifies that a radiobutton for each row be present, and the corresponding row selected accordingly by clicking its radiobutton. There could be any number of rows returned in the report, which means that the number of radiobuttons will vary dynamically according to the number of returned rows.
1. So my question is, how do I construct the page to do this? Please remember I am a newbie, so detail will be appreciated.
2. Another question is, how do I change the fonts and colours of the names displayed along with the listboxes?
Thank you very much for your attention. Any help will be warmly received.
With regards,
Arindam.

Open data slice for data entry and close afterwards

Dear all,
I have created one data slice for a characteristic combination country xy in order to prevent the data entry within the data entry query for the user. But for some reason I have to run a planning function in order to summarize some values and write a total value in the characteristic e.g. country xy.
The planning function brings out an error message because this can not be executed due to the fact that this combination is protected.
Is there a way to open the data slice before the planning function is writing the data in the cube? I have tried to to this in the Data slice exit, but I do not have an idea how to open the DS, save the data and close the DS again.
We are running NW BI 7.0. Any ideas would be great.
Best regards,
Stefan from Munich/Germany

I did something like this by creating an FM and calling that FM from a FOX function. I think you will have to use three commands to execute three functions one after the other (and not combine them in one planning sequence) - first one will switch off the data slice, next will be your planning function containing the logic, and the last will switch it back on.
The FM would be something like below:
FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE.
*"*"Local Interface:
*" IMPORTING
*"     REFERENCE(I_INFOPROV) TYPE RSINFOPROV
*"     REFERENCE(I_DSNR) TYPE RSPLS_DSNR
*"     REFERENCE(I_STATUS) TYPE I
*** This function imports the name of a real-time Infoprovider and a Data Slice number
***        and a parameter I_STATUS. If I_STATUS is 1, data slice is activated
***        If I_STATUS is -1, data slice is de-activated
data wa_ds type rspls_ds.
select single * from rspls_ds
        into wa_ds
        where infoprov = I_INFOPROV
          AND objvers = 'A'
          AND dsnr = I_DSNR.
if I_status = 1.
   wa_ds-used = 'X'.
elseif I_status = -1.
   wa_ds-used = ''.
endif.
update rspls_ds from wa_ds.
ENDFUNCTION.
The Fox code will be like below -
CALL FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE
    EXPORTING
       I_INFOPROV = <infoprov name>
       I_DSNR = <Data Slice Number>
       I_STATUS = <0 or 1>.

How to use the same variable value for data entry and the planning sequence

Hi,
the scenario is the following:
Using the WAD template a user enters cost center plan data. The cost center is selected by the chosen value for the variable "V1".
Afterwards he shall push a button which starts a planning sequence (including saving the data and further functions). This planning sequence uses a filter that also contains the variable "V1".
What or where has it to be defined that the planning sequence uses automatically the same value for the variable "V1" as selected for the data entry?

You have to define in the planning function. The planning sequence is only a sequence and it read the planning functions underneath it.

First Day of Week in Data Entry Profile

Does anyone know if there is a standard SAP RFC i can use in my Web Dynpro application to get the First Day of Week entry in a user's Data Entry Profile?
Thanks,
-Kevin

Hello Kevin,
Function Module returns the System Date from that SAP System(R/3). I have checked this BAPI with '200743 - current week' GET_WEEK_INFO_BASED_ON_DATE, it returns proper data like Start Date and End Date.
I Assume, you are using this in your Java WD. You can write your own function for this. This will return the day of the week.
Calendar xmas = new GregorianCalendar(2007, Calendar.SEPTEMBER, 23);
int dayOfWeek = xmas.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess("Day : "+dayOfWeek);
Note : - week starts with 0 . 0 - Monday 6 -Saturday.

Data entry form problem - form in query-only mode

Hi there,
I am trying to create an data entry form to insert recordacross 2 out of 3 tables. The last of the four tables already have details and does not need to have record inserted into.
This is the scenario, my four tables are Factory, Employee, Works_in. Works_in resolves a many to many relationship between Factory and Employee
Now for a person to be employed in a factory, he must be assigned to a factory.
I have a list of factories already in the database. After choosing a factory from the database, I want to insert records to do with his Fname, Lname, Hiredate bla, bla, bla to the Employee table.
I have a single form with Factory as the master, and 2 tabs each for Employee and Works_in.
After linking all my tables with the ability to choose a factory first on the master form from a combo box and after inserting records into the other forms, it says form running in query-only mode.
What do you think?
Many thanks in advance.
Cube60

I think that's too much of the wrong information.
It sounds like you have multiple forms. Are they Modal or Non-Modal?
What code do you use to call the form that's not working?
Does it work initially and then stop working?

How to add a new filed of Personnel number in FB60 data entry screen

Hello SAP Gurus,
We want to have a field to populate the Personnel number in all of the posting document entries via FB60. Besides the existing fields such as the "Doc.header text", "reference", "short text", "text" and "assignment" fields etc, are there any other fields that can be used to enter the Personnel number in the document entries? Maybe there're some fields are ready but the fields have been hidden on the data entry screen currently?
Personnel number is there in the Vendor master data in CoCd data, Accounting Info.
I checked the Field status group of the Vendor Recon A/c in OBC4 and made the personnel number as Optional from suppressed mode in FSG BS41 under Additional Account Assignment.
After doing the above, I am still not able to see the personnel number filed in FB60.
Am I missing anything else due to which I am not able to get the additional filed of personnel number in FB60 screen.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hello Dear
Look FB60 screen has two parts :
The one in which you enter information related to vendor is Header Level, in this case you already assign Personnel No. in Vendor Master so no field is required as Personnel no. will be picked up from Vendor Master level.
The Other is line item level is bottom half part, if you want to assign personnel no. at Expense G/L level then if you scroll right you will find a field for Personnel no. If you can't see the field check your setting at OBVV for the field status group you assign to particular Expense G/L.
Hope you Understood
Cheers

Looking for a browser or app with one click data entry

One thing I miss on the iPad is the ability to quickly enter information in web sites like my name, e-mail, etc. For example, Firefox for windows has an add-on called "InFormEnter" which places a check box next to each data entry block. Clicking on it allows entry of the information with one additional click. I know that some iPad password managers will remember this info, but most seem to require entering a password each time you use it.
Mercury browser for the iPad remembers data for visited sites but seems to require manual input for every new site.
Is there an app or browser for iPad that will work without entering a password or requiring manual input for every new site?

The subscription version of LastPass has formfill capability and syncs information from your LastPass account that works on multiple platforms/OSs.
