Please Help: Problem - Combining database fields in a text object

Hello
Thank you for viewing my thread and any helpful feedback you may provide. I am having trouble with the "Combining database fields in a text object" tutorial in the Help under: Quick Start\Quick Start for new users\Combining database fields in a text object.
After following the steps and previewing, I see the last name, first name stacked on top of each other in preview and design view. I don't know why this is happening. Can anyone point me in the right direction so the text is displayed the same way as it is in the Help?
Thanks
M

Hi,
I don't think the field is actually in the text object but just stacked on top of it.
When you double-click on the text object, you the cursor should be inside it now. Is the database field in there? If not, then you can drag and drop it into the text object where you want it to go.
You will know if it's going in because the edit cursor will show you where in the text object it will drop.
The other way to do it is to drop the database field on the report somewhere and copy it to the clipboard and paste it into the text object.
Good luck,
Brian

How can I embed a text field inside a text object in a fillable form?

I am a new user of LiveCycle and am slowly figuring things out. I don't really understand any of the scripts-- thatlevel is way beyod me. I am hoping that someone can tell me an easy way to insert a fillable text field into a text object. I have been assigned a huge project of converting some very old Word forms into fillable PDF forms. I have done okay with many of them, but ran into a snag with some of the form letters that our employees need to fill out. Basically, there is a block of text (the body of the letter) in which employees will need to be able to type in a date that the recipient of the letter must respond by. I have read up on floating fields and thought that was the solution to my problem, but it seems that floating fields are really just meant to be filled from a data source rather than having info typed into them.
Can anyone help-- I am desperate at this point. There has to be an easy way to insert a fillable text field object or a Date/Time object into a block of text so that the surrounding text will expand and contract around the length of the date entered (this is important, as many of these letters pertain to legal matters and cannot have blank spaces in them).

Hi,
You can split your text object into different parts and place text fields inbetween the parts. With a little manuvering, you can make it look good.
An alternative is to place text field(s) outside the letter body (and set the visibilaty to screen only). Use these to populate the floating field.
or
script the external text fields (or the subform containing them) to be "hidden" using the "Preprint" event, then revealing them ("visible") again using the "Postprint" event.
Hope this helps, good luck!

Problem in database fields creation using default class of B1DE Wizard

Hi Experts
In an AddOn I am creating database fields in default class "Project_DB'. It does not give any message weather it creates fields or not. My code for database creation is given below
Namespace FormARE
    Public Class FormARE_Db
        Inherits B1Db
        Public Sub New()
            MyBase.New
            B1Connections.theAppl.StatusBar.SetText("Please wait. AddOn is updating database", BoMessageTime.bmt_Long, BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_None)
            Columns = New B1DbColumn() {New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BondNo", "Bond No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BFrDate", "Bond From Date", BoFieldTypes.db_Date, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 10, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OCRD", "BTDate", "Bond To Date", BoFieldTypes.db_Date, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 10, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cntner_no", "Container No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cntnr_Seal", "Container Seal No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "Cust_Seal", "Custom Seal No.", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1), New B1DbColumn("OINV", "ctryOrgn", "Country of Origin", BoFieldTypes.db_Alpha, BoFldSubTypes.st_None, 20, New B1WizardBase.B1DbValidValue(-1) {}, -1)}
            GC.Collect()
            B1Connections.theAppl.StatusBar.SetText("Successfully updated database", BoMessageTime.bmt_Short, BoStatusBarMessageType.smt_Success)
        End Sub
    End Class
End Namespace
It does not give first message. and second message come properly and immediately when I start the AddOn. I checked it makes all fields accuratly. But when I open the related form it gives error message "Data Source not found". I checked fields name are same as used in form and database .What can the reason? Should I use a simple function for creation of database fields which will run when a button is pressed? Is it fine to using default class for database fields creation?
Thanks

i had the following problem in my minisa access.
while Displaying table contents with transactions SE11 or SE16
gives an error "No changes on SAP objects allowed".
while Accessing the logical database F1S gives a syntax error because the
include DBF1SF01 is missing.
so i have used the mbspatch1 that comes with the cd.
i have copied the mbscorr0104200 file in the directory '<MBS_DIR>\trans\tmp' as mentioned.
and i have followed the steps as follows.but i have the same problem.please have a look at the
process below and hel me to make it work roerly.
this roblem is really eating me a lot and since many in this forum are sap master,thought
you all can help me please.

C:\MBS\TRANS\TMP>r3trans -i mbscorr01042000
'R3TRANS' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.
hope there was some problem here only,but to continue i have pasted the r3trans in the folder C:\MBS\TRANS\TMP

This is R3TRANS version 6.05 (release 46D - 04.10.00 - 09:16:00).

Please help with combining two java packages into one iteration

Hello, I work for a pharmaceutical company and run reports for credits that we have received. Currently the packages are reported seperately from the credit reports and my job is to combine them. There are two models that handle these and I need to link the second to the first with some common entities. Please help me figure out what I need to do in order to add a credit column to the report. I have a sample of the code below and would appreciate any help you can offer.
First, the info pulled about the boxes:
rm = (ReportManager) ManagerFactory.getManager(ManagerFactory.REPORTS);
items = rm.getRVSSearchResults(hvstoresid,
hvstoregroupsid,
String.valueOf(request.getParameter("price_type")).trim(),
String.valueOf(report_by).trim(),
vendor_type,
String.valueOf(request.getParameter("vendor")).trim(),
from_date,
                    until_date,
debitNum,
                    processing_type,
sort_field,
sort_direction,
                    includeAll222s).iterator();
Second, the page that has the data i need to transpose to the first:
PackoutModel pm = null;
                         int iter = searchpageposition*resultPageSize;
                         while (iter < packouts.size() && iter<(searchpageposition*resultPageSize)+resultPageSize)
                         { pm = (PackoutModel) packouts.get(iter);
                              BigDecimal invoiceAmt = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getInvoiceAmt(),"0.00");
                              BigDecimal creditRec = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getAmtReceived(),"0.00");
                              BigDecimal processingFee = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getProcessFeeTotal(),"0.00");
                              BigDecimal shippingFee = DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getShippingHandlingFeeTotal(),"0.00");
                              BigDecimal balanceDue =(invoiceAmt.add(processingFee.add(shippingFee))).subtract(creditRec);
All that I need from the second page is to get a value for:
DataConverter.parseBigDecimalWithAlternateWhenNull(pm.getAmtReceived(),"0.00");
which I believe must first have the store id, etc equal to the first model. So there is the existing rvs.FOO and the needed pm.BAR but since it is in an iter loop, I can't seem to figure out how to join the two.
Any ideas?

could you explain your problem with a simplified schema or a more
understandable code.

Field Explorer help, not all Database Fields available

Greetings all, I'm new to Crystal Reports (version XI by the way) and Tigerpaw. I've had some great luck editing existing reports to the specifications we've needed thus far. But now I've run into a real problem, it seems small, but it's important to me.
The one change I'm unable to accomplish on our new invoice report:
-Adding the Tigerpaw field, Account Name, to an invoice. The "Account Name" field is a field pulled from the tblAccounts Database Fields category in the Field Explorer. But when I'm in my invoice template, I do not have that category available, I only have tblSysListViewPrint and tvwr_Invoices categories, the latter does have the field for "Account ID" which is close for our purposes, but not the same. So how might I go in and pull from the tblAccounts category...specifically to get the tblAccounts.AccountName field. Copying that field from another existing report does not work either, "one or more formulas fail to compile".
I'm not sure how it decides what Database Fields to pull from, because on other reports, the tblAccounts category is available, but not the tvwr_Invoices category, so I am quite confusedl.
Hopefully this makes sense to someone out there.
Thanks.

Thanks, V361,
When I go to create a blank report, I get no databases available. My first prompt is the "Database Expert". The "available data sources" list is Current Connections (no items), Favorites (no items), History (no items), and Create New Connection. The "selected tables" list on the right is blank. I honestly don't have a clue how connect to whatever server contains those items. I realized since I first posted that I need to figure that out to make any progress. All the created reports already have the database field categories set up already, but it looks like all the available fields were not initially chosen for the reports.
So what I believe it comes down to is the fact that I need to figure out how to "Create New Connection" to find my available database fields.

Anyone can Help on {suppress} [database fields] inside the [fields]

Reason to put database fields inside the fields
1. I put in (word and database fields) inside fields box in order to let my word display smoothly one by one.
Problem is , i am in section report footer d, i plan to suppress {Qrev if the value is "AAA"}
got this type of function?
If the Qrev = "AAA" than suppress/hide it.
Design screen :
We will the undersigned, hereby acknowledge my acceptance of the above quote and agreed to the rates, terms and conditions stated herein as per your reference no: {QRef} dates
Display screen=
We will the undersigned, hereby acknowledge my acceptance of the above quote and agreed to the rates, terms and conditions stated herein as per your reference no: 2014    AAA dates 10 march 2009
wanted display screen
We will the undersigned, hereby acknowledge my acceptance of the above quote and agreed to the rates, terns and conditions stated herein as per your reference no: 2014   dates 10 march 2009

As what u say, i try to key in a [formula fields] call Qrev
here the code :
if {Quotation.QRev} = "AAA" then
    {Quotation.QRev} = " "
We will the undersigned, hereby acknowledge my acceptance of the above quote and agreed to the rates,
terns and conditions stated herein as per your reference no: MKT-2009/05/0018 True dates 19 Jun 2009
but the Qrev.wouldnt be go delete / as a blank value. The value will only become true or false

Please help, problems running recovery

hi, i have a satellite P755-S5262 RUNNING WINDOWS 7 64BIT WITH AN i7 PROCESSOR
when i first got my laptop i was having some minor problems with it so i did a restore from the harddrive and that fixed things up. i made some recovery media and the went about setting it up, the made a backup with nere back it up 11. later on more problems and i tried to restore from nero back up and backup didn't work so i tried recovery and it won't recover from the hard drive but my recoverey media worked and everything was fine. so one late sleepy night
i triede to install some free software which didn't work so i uninstalled it using REvo uninstall and made a bad mistake, windows would not boot. most of the repair options, including toshiba recovery were not coming up.
i had my media but after inserting disc one it said files were loading and the nothing happened. anyway i finally got
recoverey to come up but after choosing out of box recovery with partitions the same i got thew message preparing partitiuons and the error 08-0E89-0000 PARTITION preperation failed
please help!

If the problem is with the recovery media, ordering replacement recovery media might be able to help.
If that doesn't work, it could be a failing hard drive.

Please help: problem configuring a SQL server datasource in Websphere.

I am using Rational Developer 6 and its integrated testing server (websphere v6). When configuring a data source for SQL server, I did the following steps in admin console of the test server:
1. Created a JDBC provider, using WebSphere embedded ConnectJDBC driver for MS SQL Server;
2. Created a datasource under the previously created JDBC provider, filled in the server name, DB name and port number (1433 for SQL server);
3. Created a J2C authentication alias that has the login info of SQL server;
4. Assigned the created J2C alias to both component and container managed authentication alias;
However, when I click "Test Connection", it always gets back to me with an error "java.lang.Exception: java.sql.SQLException: [IBM][SQLServer JDBC Driver]Error establishing socket. Connection refused: connectDSRA0010E: SQL State = 08001, Error Code = 0.".
My ultimate goal is to configure a SQL server datasource so that I can configure Kodo to use this datasource.
Can some one please help? Thanks in advance.

Try this:

I am yet to test this. I am going to download latest SP for SQL Server 2000 and install it. I hope it will do the magic.

Search database fields using single text field

Kindly advise on how to develop a database search page such
that there is
single text field to enter serach string and the results are
shown on the
same page.
ALso guide if there is any extension available for achieving
the above.

I understand what you say.
What I am looking for is a wizard or an extension which
creates the form, as
well as writes the SQL string and also generates the results
page
(preferably on the sarch page itself).
I am looking for a google like solution where the site
homepage has one text
field, and users can search for all the fields of a database
to give results
on the same page.
Please help.
