Open a new form! Help needed

I am still new to this.
I am trying to open a new_form from an already open form.
I have assigned the trigger as follows.
WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED
New_form('FORM3');
Now, when i run the form I get the error
FRM-40108:No Such: FORM3
When it clearly exsists. What ever name I try it dosnt work. HAve I done the trigger correctly?
Thanks

You should first define a named configuration entry in FORMS_PATH\forms\server\formsweb.cfg for example TEST , at the bottom of the file.
Imagine that the form(s) are located in C:\oracle_files\Forms directory..
So this entry would have the format...
[TEST]
workingDirectory=C:\oracle_files\Forms
form=first_form.fmx
Then restart the OC4J instance and call this named configuration as
the formsweb.cfg file has as an example , replacing the sepwin to TEST....
NOTE....
If the two forms (the caller , the calling) are in the same path then in NEW_FORM you needn't reference the full path , otherwise you have to....

2010 Review Approval Workflow Error - Outlook cannot open a new form

Hi,
I set up an Approval - SharePoint workflow on a document library list in a webpart. When the approver got the email and tried to approve from outlook, she received the following error. She has approved documets in the past for the same page.
Can anyome please help me troubleshoot this? So much appreciated!
Word Error:
Could not open. http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 2010/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn
Outlook Error:
Outlook cannot open a new form. To open the file, access to the folliwng form template is required
http://<site ulr> _layouts/formsResource.aspx?templateFile=http://<site url_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn

can she open the approval form in web browser instead of Outlook?
According to the error message, it seems that the user does not have permission for the file http://<site url/_catalogs/wfpub/Approval - SharePoint 201o/Review Approval_Task_1033.xsn.
can she open see this file in SharePoint designer 2010? that is, open the site with SharePoint designer and navigate to All Files->_catalogs->wfpub->Approval - SharePoint 201o. If she can not see the file there, ask the workflow creator to publish
the workflow again. I had experienced strange issue in SharePoint designer 2007 and solved by check out all the workflow files and check in again

Opening a new form using a different connect string

Hi All
I have the following requirement. I want to open an new form (when button pressed) using a different connect string. I am planning to use open form so that the new form has its own session. But I donot want the new form to connect to the same database. How do I pass the database that I want to connect using open form.
Rgds
Arvind Balaraman

The only way to change the connection is to execute the built-in LOGIN and connect to the desired database. You cannot pass this through the OPEN_FORM built-in.
Example:
LOGOUT;
LOGON(uname, upass || '@' || conn_str);
However, be aware that this will impact the first form too. This is expected behavior.
See Oracle Bug 5004661 or the Forms Online Help for more details.

Opening a new form by clicking a button...

How is it possible to open a new form by clicking a button in a form? I have tried following methods:
htp.formOpen(owa_util ...
go('<URL>'),
call('<URL>'),
portal30.www_user_utilities.get_url ...
portal30.wwa_app_module.link ...

Kaj,
Add following code in the '... before displaying the form.' event on the 'Additional PL/SQL Code' tab.
htp.p('<script language="JavaScript1.3">
< !--
function runForm()
window.open("http://www.yahoo.com");
//-->
</script>');
Add a call to this function in the 'onClick' event from the 'JavaScript Event Handlers' for the button.
runForm();
Hope this helps...
Nancy.

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that when you are running approval workflow and opening the Excel file, then it will occur the error above.
For a better troubleshooting, I suggest you can try to create a new normal excel file and then run the workflow and open the file to test if it works. It will help to figure out if this is the file itself issue or the SharePoint issue.
Also, please provide some more detailed information such as screen capture, it will easier to find the root cause of the issue.
Thanks

Opening a new form from a button places it behind the calling form.

From the sales order form clicking a schedule button opens up a new non modal window . On this window I need to add a new button to open a new form(SOO.fmb) .
I tried using the FND_FORM.EXECUTE function, the new form opens but it is positioned behind the sales order form. I tried using call_form , even this positions the new form behind the sales order form.
How do I open the new form as the active form ?
thanks

Please clarify what you are talking about. Is this an Oracle Applications (i.e. E-Business) form or is this a form/application you created? What product versions are you using? Do not provide product names like 10g, 11g, etc. Please provide product versions.
That said, if you are opening new form or browsers using WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT, there is a known Sun bug which causes this problem when using the Sun JRE 1.6.0_xx. This issue can be worked around by disabling the JRE setting "Enable the next generation Java Plugin...". This setting is found on the Advanced tab of the JRE Control Panel under "Java Plugin". This bug is expected to be fixed in Sun 1.6.0_18. This version is not available to the public at this time.

Open a new form based on the selection from the drop down list

Good Morning Everyone,
Can any one please advise how I can start to build the form that has a drop down list(DDL) to list other forms so the user can select one from the selection of that DDL to open a new form.
e.g A form in workspace ES3 with drop down list to list 3 forms: form1, form2, form3. When user select form1 from the DDL, then it will kick off the render servic to launch form1 in workspace ES3.
Thanks in advance,
HD

Hi,
I'm not surea about the data structure...Are there two ClassNodes, one for "VALVES" and one for "BOLTS"??
and for scripting it is no good idea if the names of the attributes are value, don't know if this is your naming...
but to access a node of the DATA view -->
//var selection --> you have assigned "VALVES"
var onodeCN = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.Classification.ClassNode[*].value");
// get the node with the valves -->
               for (var i = 0; i < onodeCN.length ; i++) {
                    if ( onodeCN.item(i).value == selection ) {
                                     //get the Leaves of Node VALVES
                                     var onodeVALS = xfa.resolveNodes("xfa.record.Classification.ClassNode[+i+].ClassLeaf[*].value");
                                     for (var j = 0; j < onodeVALS.length ; j++) {
                                       // insert values of Leave to 2nd drop down
                            XXX.addItem(onodeVALS.item(j).value, onodeVALS.item(j).value);
??works??

Close a form and before open a new form

Hi,
I open a new form(form B) from a form (from A), can I close "form A" before opening "form B" ?
Moreover, can I re-open a form itself ?
Thx!
Gary

Use one of following
CALL_FORM
This builds a stack of forms; exiting the current form
returns you to the previous form.
Performing a call_form('b') from FORM A will do the following:
Deactivate FORM A.
FORM A becomes MODAL.
Focus is now on FORM B.
Must Exit FORM B to return focus to FORM A.
OPEN_FORM
This allows you to have two forms open and active at the same time,
and to work on both forms at the same time.
Performing an open_form('b') from FORM A will do the following:
Both FORM A and FORM B remain open and you can use the mouse
to switch back and forth between the forms.
NEW_FORM
. This replaces the current form with a new form.
Performing a new_form('b') from FORM A will do the following:
Closes FORM A and Opens FORM B.

Basic form help needed

I am new to Dreamweaver 8 (but have worked with simple html a
quite a bit) and am working on building a, hopefully, simple
prototype for a project. What I need to do is collect user-entered
text and user-selected dropdown box data on one page and send it to
another for presentation there. After looking at the Help screens,
I looked at using Session variables and it seems that is the best
way to pass the data. Where I am stuck is in the (from Help
Contents) Making Pages Dynamic - Creating Forms - Creating HTML
forms help. They first say to, in step 2, Select Insert > Form
(which doesn't do anything - you have to click another option,
which I figured meant Form again). Then, in step 3, they say to
"Specify the page or script that will process the form data." by
selecting the file in the Action box in Properties. I don't have a
file to "process the form data" and don't really know what they are
talking about. Help!
I originally (before I reverted to using Help) set it up with
Insert->Form->Text Field text entry boxes, figuring this was
a Form field that could be captured and passed on. Right? Wrong? I
guess I thought the method would be to define a variable name
associated with a text input field in one page, then pass it with
the value to the next page. That is pretty much what it seems
Session variables do (?), which I discovered when I started looking
at Help.
So, was I on the right track for a simple implementation and
missed the way to capture and transmit the data, or do I need to
use the Forms->Forms option? If the former, how do I define the
variable names? If the later...well, I am real confused then. :-)
Thanks for your help.
(btw, we do have training material coming - went with
Dreamweaver for Dummies, Peachpit Macromedia Dreamweaver 8 Hands-On
Training "dead tree media" and TechRepublic Fast Track Dreamweaver
8 CBT. Any opinions on those?)

Session variables as the name suggests are created when a
user starts a session and last till the session is open. You form
doesn't really need session variables unless you are carrying form
data from one page to another and need to keep it associated with
that specific user such as in shopping cart applications.
I have never used the dreamweaver insert form, so can't help
you there. why not code the form yourself, especially since you
have been using html
The link below may help.

I selected the wrong form and now I can't select a new form, HELP

Help!! I selected the wrong form and now I can't select a new form, can anyone help?

I'm assuming you have a free account and created a form. You can just delete it and then you can create another. The free account allows you to have up to 1 form at a time. You just need to delete to create another.

Unable to open SharePoint 2010 task from any Microsoft Office application - cannot open a new form (schema validation errors)

I can’t get the Microsoft Office SharePoint Task integration to work with any SharePoint 2010 Workflows. When any end user clicks the “Open this task…”
button from outlook (or any other office application) a warning dialog appears stating that:
“Outlook cannot open a new.
The form contains schema validation errors.”
The error details are:
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}div' is unexpected according to content model of parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
Some points to note:
I can replicate this using on several computers running as different users.
I have full control over the site and the task I am trying to open.
When I navigate via the SharePoint site I can open the task.
The Info Path form that cannot be opened was automatically created by automatically SharePoint designer / InfoPath. I have subsequently deleted the form and published
the workflow (which created the InfoPath form again).
I am running Mircosoft Office Professional Plus 2010 version 14.0.5128.5000 (32-bit)
One workaround is to remove the “Open this task…” button as per
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepoint2010general/thread/eb273ee9-6a4b-409c-8eb0-5351bb113386/. This is not ideal and will be my last resort.
Any suggestions and or thoughts appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, I tried that. It did not work for me.
I have 4 site collections. The main site collection is the only one that I receive the error.
When the user clicks on the email link and opens the document for approval, they receive the following error when they click on "Open This Task".
Element '{http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml}a is unexpected according to content model of
parent element '{http://schemas.microsoft.com/office/infopath/2009/WSSList/dataFields}Body'.
There is nothing wrong with the task list itself, just the link from the Office 2010 client.
I am wondering if there is a web config or other file on the server that is specific to the site collection??

Product Specific Form - Help Needed

I have a client who will be selling firearms and ammunition on a hunting site, along with other hunting products.
I need to have a form specific for firearms and ammunition products that will be required to be filled out before that product firearm and or ammunition can be added to the cart. The laws in Canada are very strict about purchases of such product on the internet.
How do I do this or is it even possible to have a form specific to these products pop up when add to cart is clicked?
Thanks in advance

Hello river east,
I'm just spitballing here, but here is one option for this to work.
Basically you would create a secure zone and if the user isn't signed in they wouldn't see the Add to Cart button.
The js would look like this - http://jsfiddle.net/chaddidthis/uDmXj/1/
As a part of signing up for the secure zone they have to accept the gun and ammo purchasing terms. You could have the link to the form on the large product page, sends them to either log in or sign up via the form they need to fill out. After then fill out the form they are sent back a page sending them back into the large product view they were on, and since they are signed in now the product will be able to add to cart.
Maybe this will spark others to add on to this, but that is pretty much the only way I could think to accomplish the desired results.
Hope it helps,

XML form Help Needed Please

Hello Everybody
Here is my requirement.
I am creating a XML form that will be set up with a approval workflow. My form has a combo box with several entries and whenever the user selects something from this box the approver should be changed accordingly.
One more requirement is I should show this approver in the form.
Can somebody please help me. I have seen the propeties in the XML form but not getting any clue on how to use them.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Renu

Renuka,
In KM you can use layout set in order define something such as: command groups by files, folders and links. Also you can define your layout controller, which columms you want to display, number of rows so on. Please, read about layout set, collection renderer and resource renderer.
After, you can assign this layout to your folder or iview.
Therefore when you open your form from this iview, you can use botton defined in this layout.
As you can see by default there are two layout defined for news:
NewsBrowser
NewsExplorer
Try to analyze it.
