Multiplication calculation in form

I wish to have a form field return a calculation that is a multiplication of another form field.
Example:
Field name where calculation is to take place = FieldG
Field name where base numeric is = FieldF
Field G needs to return a calculation that is 3 times the amount showing in Field F
What is the best way to accomplish this?
I have tried this in the properties simplified field notations FieldG=(FieldF*3) no result
Suggestions?

Here is a link to a tutorial that should be helpful:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/how-to-do-not-so-simple-form-calculations
In short, the simplified field notation option is for simple calculations involving addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. For anything more complicated, you'll need to use a custom JavaScript.

Best Solution for Creating an Onlne Purchase order form with multiple calculation fields

I am a bit confused. Our school has a Forms Central account which works great for our registration forms but I need to find a solution for creating an online purchase form with multiple calculation fields - I know that forms central does not support calculation fields (too bad) but I know that Acrobat Pro does... soooo...
Can you create the forms in Acrobat and then somehow integrate the advanced features into forms central? Do they talk to each other? Is this easy to do? .... I guess another way to putting it is can you create the forms in Acrobat including all of the advanced features for payment calculation and then host it online using Forms Central to manage and collect the data? (I guess that really is my question)
Thanks (how does this compare to a solution like Formstack?)

Hi, thanks.
The naming convention was the consistant up until a point when I read that you need a '.' syntax (?!) - does anyone know if this is true?
Attached is a version with Bernd Alheit's suggestion and with all the naming of the fields being consistant. It's still not working for me though after doing this and I'm stuck as to why, because I think it should work. I've also tried writing the calcualting line of code in the same manner that Bernd Alheit suggests before I came on here, and it wouldn't work then.
As with any coding, it must be something to which I have done, but I can't see it anywhere
Any ideas? Thanks for helping me
Cheers

Auto fill same fields in multiple different pdf forms?

I wish to enter information such as project name, company name, date, etc. into a single data sheet. Then I need to autofill the same two or three fields across multiple separate pdf form files. In this case I have approximately separate files to autofill. The forms are all different however, they have the same two or three fields. Any ideas?
I have been searching the internet for ideas or methods and haven't found a single solution yet.
Thanks.

I think this is what you're looking for.

Multiple Selects on Form

Several questions about multiple selects on Forms.
I want to create a form with a multiple select list. I know I can do this if I based the form off a table, correct? I mean, I try but the form does not allow me to put multiple selects on a form based off a table
So what I did was create a procedure that has a parameter of type owa_text.vc_arr, but the form freaks out. It just hangs at "Retrieving Form Data".
So, what gives? Can I use multiple select lists on forms? If not, why have them in Portal?
Rich

Hi Richard,
In Portal it's not possible to create a form with a multiselect.
Oracle has remove this feature from Webdb. Don't ask me why.
The Multiselect is now only available for the parameter forms or reports. You can use them in a where clause like WHERE DEPTNO in :v_dept.

How can I export multiple PDF fillable forms into a spreadsheet (Excel) using VBA?

Hi guys,
I never used VBA with with Adobe Acrobat. I would like a tip to start doing that. What I would like to do know is:
1 - I have multiple PDF Forms that are filled.
2 - I want all the data from those forms to be exported to Excel via VBA code.
3 - Adobe Acrobat already have an option to do that manually (Forms > Merge Data Files Into Spreadsheet) and it works perfectly.
4 - I would like to access that feature using VBA, then generate a spreadsheet.
Any tips? How can I start?
Thanks!

A good place to start is Karl Heinz Kremer's blog, where he has a few examples:

How to configure optimal data connections to allow excel to retrieve multiple data sets form a single data source

Hi all,
I would like to have a data connection file used by excel to extract data form a SQL Server DB (so that change in location of the DB needs only a change to the single data connection file). The excel file will retrieve data from only a single database,
but there are multiple queries (30+) stored on SQL server that are used - each SQL server views' data is returned to a pivot table in an excel worksheet, which has an associated chart with various slicers on the main dashboard worksheet.
Do I need a seperate data conenction file for each SQL server query being retrieved, or can a single connection file be created as all data comes from a single database?
(all my attempts and research on the net have led me to believe that a seperate file is needed for each view, but this seems unnecessary)

Hi, im learning my way with this, so apologies if I am providing too much or too little info.
There are 8 source files which are very loosely related in that they capture infromation regarding what has happened within a metro railway over a day. However there are only a few relationships between the contents of tehse files.
These tables are imported into SQL Server using SSIS where I have developed a number of views that query these 8 source tables to generate a number of metrics to provide insight into the service provided to the passengers. Some examples of metrics are: Number
of passengers in transit at any given time, time taken to travel between adjacent stations, how much power was used during the day, what distance did the trains travel during the day, etc. Some views provide only a handful of rows, some provide 1M plus. There
are now approx 40 seperate views created.
I have then used a spreadsheet with a worksheet associated with each SQL server view. Each worksheet is set up as a pivot table, which allows the related chart on the main dashboard worksheet to use standard excel capability to slice and present the data
in different ways.
At the moment if the server on which teh database is stored moves, I have had to recreate the spreadsheet from scratch as I dont know how to change the connection information in any other way. Ideally I would like to have connection info in a single place
to reduce ongoing maintenance, particularly as I would like to place the spreadsheet on a SharePoint server to distribute it to other users.
Thanks

Multiple recipient livecycle form using javascript in it to attach a pdf, external recipients get MIME formatted email.

The livecycle designed form has javascript to send the form to 4 recipients. The form worked fine until the mail domain was hosted by gmail (uses TLS, port 587). Now recipients get a MIME email, not the attached PDF. Old versions of the form pre-sept 29 work fine. If we change the form or copy it, it does not work. If we use a different smtp server to test, it works fine, all 4 recipients get the pdf. Any advice is much appreciated! I'd say gmail is the problem, but then why do old forms work fine still through gmail?
the setup is Adobe Livecycle Designer ES4, Adobe Acrobat XI, Outlook 2007, gmail hosted company domain (ex. yourdomain.com), using SMTP port 587 TLS, javascript in the email to declare a PDF, and a button to run the javascript (not a submit button, the javascript does the submit action).
problem looks like this:

First of all, a drop-down menu doesn't allow for multiple item selection. You'll need a list-box field for that.
Once you have that set up you can use the value(s) selected in this field as the recipients of the email.

Display multiple records in forms 6i

hi every body
will anybody plz tell me how to display multiple records in tabular view of forms 6i.for example say i have a field in a block of a form.and i have to display multiple records in another block in the same form depending upon the value of the mentioned field in the above block.
will anybody help me??

Why are you manually populating your data block when Oracle Forms will do this for you? Oracle Forms is tightly integrated with the Oracle Database. You should just base your Forms data block on the ISSUED table. Then you can filter the records displayed by setting the WHERE Clause property to ID = :BLOCK1.ID or you can dynamically set it with code using the SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('BLOCK_NAME',DEFAULT_WHERE,'ID = :BLOCK.ID') built-in.
Then, the only code you would need in your Button's When-Button-Pressed trigger would be:
BEGIN
GO_BLOCK('BLOCK2');
EXECUTE_QUERY;
END;This is the point of InoL's reply. When a Form is based on a table, you can use the "Enter Query" and "Execute Query" built-in features to query and display records.
Sounds like you might be new to Oracle Forms development. If that is the case, you might want to go through a few Forms Tutorials to learn what Forms can do for you. ;) Just search the internet for "Oracle Forms Tutorials" and you will find many!

Calculating in Forms

I have been working on an interactive flyer for days now.
Basically someone fills out the forms with packages they want for their apartment, with every selection of a check box or radio button it adds up at the bottom of the list.
I have the following;
Packages - DISPLAYS TOTALS FROM PACKAGES
Additions- DISPLAYS TOTALS FROM ADDITIONS
Housewares- DISPLAYS TOTALS FROM HOUSEWARES
Subtotal- DISPLAYS TOTAL FROM Packages, additions and housewares.
WAIVER- This is a 12% waiver to be ADDED to the rent price. This is: (.12)(Subtotal)
Monthly Base Rent- Waiver+Subtotal
The problem I am having is that I cannot get the total to show as the Waiver and Subtotal.
When someone makes a selection it shows in the total for THAT section but then it does not calculate the waiver, subtotal, and total.
When it is deselected, it shows the waiver, subtotal and total but NOT the total for that section.
I am just trying to get all the calculations to display at the same time.
HELP!

Make sure your field calculation order is correct (Forms - Edit Form - Edit field calculation order).
The total should appear last in the list.

Multiple page fillin forms?

I have a 7 page form with fillin fields on all pages. I went through each page and set the tab order on each page. How do I get the 7 pages to operate as one document? When I start on page one and fill in all the fields, it does not continue to page two? And instead of tabbing through the form fields and check boxes, it will tab to a label instead? The tab order keeps changing too?
Any help will be appreciated.

I have one PDF form that is a template. It is opened and and copies are saved, each with different data in the form fields. I now need to combine all those individual files into one multi-paged document that can be flipped through and edited.
Each form has about 100 different form fields, and there are 130 different files that I need to combine. This means I'd have to open and rename 13,000 form fields by hand. I'm trying to avoid this.
My hope was when a new page was added to the document, there'd be a setting to append each form field with a page number. (Name-page1...Name-page2...etc.) Looks like this is not possible.
Is there any way to propagate the same form field across multiple pages giving each field a unique name automatically?

Join Multiple Tables in Forms 9i

I am attempting to create a tabular form in 9i using two tables. The tables have a one-to-many relationship. The Detail table is the main table for the form and I wish to pull in a column from the master table.
It is similar to the example provided in the on-line help for FORMS 9i 'JOIN of Multiple Tables'. I have gone through all the steps provided. The form compiles OK, however, when I execute_query I get the following error message 'FRM-40505: ORACLE error: unable to perform query.' It does not matter whether the form is of type form or tabular.
If I create a tabular form using the DETAIL table ONLY and then execute_query - the form works correctly.
Thank you in advance of any help
Michael Redford

Andrew, Thank you for your reply.
I concur as I have double checked everything and the Query now works. However I still have a problem.
The error 'FRM-40657 Record changed or deleted by another user' appears as soon as I attempt to change a users record. This form and system is still in development. No other developers/users have access to the tables or forms.
If I remove all references to the joined table then I can update the same field with no errors.
I am trying to display the users name where the users name is not a field on the current table.(similar to creating a form for Employees details and displaying the Department Name for each employee.)
Re: Display Error. We have very recently upgraded from Forms 6i to Forms9i. In 6i we used the Display Error in the Runtime Previewer to debug a Form. Forms 9i runs the form on the web and I'm not sure if the 'Display Error' feature is still available.
Thank you
