Placing a table or form at a precise location

I have the following page.
http://dhnet.us/cnp/contact.html
I need all the text to remain within the borders of the brown picture frame of the image. In fact, I was hoping to put a simple contact email form inside the border of the image.
Is there some way to do this?
Thanks.

You could have the image as a background of a <div> the use margin settings to position your form where you want it over the image.

Arranging fields in a table-like form: best-Practice-Solution wanted

Hello Experts,
I´m wondering if there exists a 'best practice' considering how to arrange fields in a table-like form.
I know about cross-tables, but that´s not what we need. Most of the requirements that I have come to known are just that certain fields should be put in a certain order in a table-like outfit.
We have tried to do this using the drawing functions (e.g. putting a square around the fields and certain border styles), but it often happens that the lines overlap or there are breaks between the lines, so that you have to do a lot of manual configuration with the 'table'.
Since this is a requirement I´ve come upon with many reports, I can´t believe that this is supposed to be the best solution for this.
I don´t understand why there isn´t a table-like element in Crystal Reports to use for this. E.g. put a table with x rows and y columns in the header or group head section section and then just put the fields in it.
Many thanks in advance for your help !

Hi Frank,
You can use build in templates available in Template expert.
Click on Report menu-> Template Expert.
Select the desired template. ( Table grid template would suite best here) and click OK.
There is no facility of inserting a table directly as you said. You will have to do it manually by using lines and boxes.
Hope this is helpful.

User tables default forms

Hello,
I want to use the user tables default forms (after adding the user table in Uer Tables menu, it's generated a form to view that table: add, delete, update info).
I'd like to lauch this form from my add-on menu. I know how to do that, but I wonder if that MenuID of the menu depends on the SBO installation (on what other tables were added before in SBO). Also, I'd like to put Choose from list capabilities in that form. I know also how to do this (just like a system form), but I also don't now if the FormID is the same on each installation.
Thank you for your answer.
I hope I made myself clear.
Irina Stanca

You may try this to find the MenuUID of your UDT:
Start Saved Query through menuitem
Have you checked Application.ResourceData? I'm not sure whether UDT forms are considered system forms, though. Anyway, you should be able to get the FormID of your UDT form on the fly by iterating the Application.Forms collection and checking the Title property, which equals the UDT Description.

But we have to use the PL/SQL table as per our design standards.
We are implementing the population logic of the PL/SQL table in the database as a
package function. We are then accessing the PL/SQL table in Forms to populate the record group.It is curious that you would have such a unique requirement -- something that might make forms run a tiny bit faster -- yet you are using an ancient version of Forms.
Also the "NO DATA FOUND" error is not raised everytime the PL/SQL table is accessed.
What could be the reason for this erratic behaviour?I wonder if there may be a bug in SQL Net in the Oracle-to-Forms communication where PL/SQL tables are passed as out parameters. I know there is one in Web Forms 6 (6.0.8.19.1) when passing a pl/sql table from the form to Oracle -- I had to write the pl/sql table to a database table to get my process to work.

Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key.

Why does HTML DB 2.0 return the message
"Source tables for forms and tabular forms must have a primary key."
when trying to generate a "Report and Form" page based on a view defined like "create view <applicationschema>.a as select * from <sourceschema>.b" ?
It should be possible for HTML DB to "see" that the table "<sourceschema>.b" already has a primary key.
bw - Christian

Christian,
In the create application wizard, when creating form or tabular form pages, you can only use tables with primary keys, and not views, because that wizard is automatically deriving the primary key from the table definition. If you want to build forms on views or tables without a primary key, you need to use one of the create form wizards while working on an existing application. Those wizards allow you to pick your own column as a primary key column.

Nested Tables and Forms 9i-please help

Hi
i have the folowing example of a nested table:
CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF VARCHAR2(10) -- define TABLE type
CREATE TYPE Student AS OBJECT ( -- create object
id_num INTEGER(4),
name VARCHAR2(25),
address VARCHAR2(35),
status CHAR(2),
courses CourseList) -- declare nested table as attribute
CREATE TYPE Course AS OBJECT (
course_no NUMBER(4),
title VARCHAR2(35),
credits NUMBER(1));
CREATE TYPE CourseList AS TABLE OF Course;
CREATE TABLE department (name VARCHAR2(20),
director VARCHAR2(20),
office VARCHAR2(20),
courses CourseList)
NESTED TABLE courses STORE AS courses_tab;
In Forms i have created a data block based on table department and for managing the nested table courses_tab i found out that i should use a stored procedure:
PROCEDURE procedure_nest (c_c out courses_tab%rowtype) IS
c_c courselist;
BEGIN
select c.name, c.director,office into :department.name, :department.director,
:department.office from department c , table
(select n.courses from department n where c.name =n.name and rownum<=1);
END;
compil error:
error 999 at line 1, column 35
implemntation restriction (may be temporary) ADT or schema level
collection not supported at client side with non-OCI mode.
i really would like to know what shall i do to use and manage the nested table in forms.
Thank you very much

Hi Francois. Thank you very much for your reply, but it seems that i still get errors. So let me tell what i have done.
As you suggested me: i have done a block based on a sub-query for the nested-table:
'select courses from department where name= :department.name'.
In the master block(department) i have the when-new-record-instance trigger:
Declare
LC$Req varchar2(256);
Begin
LC$Req := '(select ns.courses from table
( select courses from department where name = ''' || :DEPARTMENT.name || ''' ) ns )';
Go_block('block11');
Clear_Block ;
Set_Block_Property( 'block11', QUERY_DATA_SOURCE_NAME, LC$Req ) ;
Execute_query ;
End ;
Now the errors i receive, this time in the runtime mode are:
- FRM-41380: Cannot set the blocks query data source
-FRM-41003: This function cannot be performed here.
Since it seems that you know how to work with the nested table i would really appreaciate your help. I am new in the nested table and if you could give an ex with my tables it would be great.
Thank you in advance.

Unable to see tables in forms with new username

I have created a new user test1 assigned to the role that provides privilege for objects. Originally I created my database objects using username ktb (public synonyms and grants have been provided). Logging into SQL*Plus as test1 I can see and access the ktb tables/objects. However, I cannot see these tables from Forms Builder when logging in as test1, whereas I can as ktb. Is there something I am missing?

Error 201 ...

Also, I am running Forms 10g against Oracle Expess 10g database.

Create database table using Forms Developer 6/6i

Happy New Year everyone,
I hope your New Year is a happy one.
Listen, I am trying to create tables in Forme Builders without using SQL*Plus but it won't create the table in the database because I believe that the table it is created as a control block not as a data block.
Can someone help me on this my email is [email protected] your help is appreciated.

I'm not sure I understand your question.
If you want to create a table in the database, you need to use the Database Objects node. If you do it in the block node, then you are creating a block in the Form, not a table in the database.

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

After selecting multiple values, immediately it will placed in Table contro

hello experts,
I m using select-option for multiple value selection.
I want:-after selecting multiple values, immediately it will placed in
Table control columns which is on same screen of select-option and that columns are grayed out.
I'm using this table control for input purpose.
I tried multiple value selection for input in table control but it is not possible.
Please Help.

There should be some user action to trigger the filling in of the table control with values from the select options.
Typically it is a click of Enter from the User s side. This would automatically trigger the PAI of the Module Pool program. So i feel the FM that is mentioned in the above post is not required to read the values because in the PAI , the value from the Select Options would have already flown from the Screen to the Program.
It is important that you use Subscreen for Select options and write your code in the PAI between loop endloop.
LOOP at Itab.
MODULE fill_itab.
Endloop.
I hope everyone agrees with me on this .
Regards,
Arun

Tables in form interface in Smartforms

Hi
Generally for creating Tables in Form Interface in smartform , We have to create a Zstructure Or ZTable Type in SE11 and then we refer this structure in form interface. My requirement is how can we create Tables In Form Interface in smartforms
without creating Zstructure In se11. Can you please tell me is it possible , If possible then how can i do it.
Thanks & Regards
Girdhari

Hi friend,
If you have a driver program and you need to pass data from the driver program to the smartform then during Form interface declaration you need to specify a global parameter. Which you will be creating using SE11.
With out creating a global structure or global table type we cannot declare it. If you have all the logic with in the smartform then you can declare the table type or structure with in the form then declare it.
But once if data comes from outside then we should go for global.
So i hope you will be clear and got the answer for your question.
Thanks,
Sri Hari

How to point at a word table using forms Ole and Word Document

Hello.
I like to know how to position at a word table and send data from a forms module using ole. I have done something similar before using bookmarks.It's easy and it works. My requirement now is to send data from a forms module to a word document, but this time, the word document will have bookmarks and a word table needs to be filled from data from the database. Just don't know how to get , access, reference the word table from forms.
I'm still using forms6i in C/S mode.
Help will be greatly appreciated ...!.
Best regards, Luis ...!

Hi Luis,
The VBA code for updating the cell found at row three, column two of the first table, of the active document is as follows:
ActiveDocument.Tables(1).Cell(3,2).Select
Selection.TypeText("Hello, world!")I haven't time to convert it to OLE2, but hopefully it will at least give you an idea.
