Please Help! with a data merge
Iam trying to do a data merge for my client in Indesign this is a new challenge to me and have gone through many a tutorial and uTube video but still cant get it to work properly.
Iam hoping that someone can give me some advise.
I have 11 different images (product Labels) that need personalisation with a data merge. I have attached the data merge file preview and the txt file (tab delimited text. txt)
As you can see the data merge text, seems to overflow into all the other boxes. (The blank boxes hold white text) and the images dont appear at all. Any suggestions would be really appreciated.
Thanks
So you did press the preview button...
First thing I see though, is the image tag is in a text frame, not an image frame, or at least that's the way it looks in the screen cap, but it does appear correct in the prvious version, so it might just be the way the frames are displayed.
But I suspect, too, that the file is now damaged. The preview button is buggy, and once you've pressed it and then done a merge the odds that the file will ever work correctly are small. Best thing is to rebuild the template in a new file and merge without pressing preview (just trust it will work). Copy/paste from the old file seems to be OK to do this.

Please Help with sql.Date problem
I have spent alot of time on what I thought would be an otherwise simple task, and I beleive I am close to completion but I need some much needed help. I have posted various forms of my code to try and acheive the solution but the responses received have been limited.
I am trying to delete a record from a MS Access database where a Date/Time field in the database (Err_Date) equals a date entered by the user via a textbox.
I finally have gotten the correct record to delete from the database, but what is very strange is that Tomcat is throwing a 'java.lang.NullPointerException' error. Then when I re-open the database the correct record is deleted.
Here is my code:
<%@page import="java.sql.*"%>
<%@ page import="java.text.SimpleDateFormat"%>
<%@ page import="java.util.Date"%>
<%
Connection con = null;
try{
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
con = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:odbc:errorlog", "admin", "");
catch(Exception e){
out.println(e.getMessage());
ResultSet rs=null;
Statement stmt=null;
try {
stmt=con.createStatement();
String end = request.getParameter("To");//FROM TEXTBOX
java.text.SimpleDateFormat df = new java.text.SimpleDateFormat ("dd/MM/yyyy");
java.util.Date d2 = df.parse(end);//CONVERT STRING TO UTIL DATE
java.sql.Date date2 = new java.sql.Date(d2.getTime());//CONVERT TO SQL
PreparedStatement stmnt = con.prepareStatement("DELETE FROM tblError WHERE Err_Date = ?");
stmnt.setDate(1, date2);
stmnt.executeUpdate();
stmnt.close();
//CLOSE RESULT SET
rs.close();
stmt.close();
con.close();
//CATCH EXCEPTIONS
catch (SQLException e) {
out.println(e.getMessage());
%>well, in case anyone ever runs into a problem this stupid again the solution is as follows.
the code to:
1. retrieve date from text box
2. covert string into util date
3. convert util date into sql date
4. delete from database
is all correct.
the problem is that I previously used String sql="SOME SQL DELETE" and then executed the result set, which of course I then had to close. This wasn't working so I switched to a Prepared Statement. I forgot to remove the 'rs.close()' statement in my code. So Tomcat was trying to close a result set that was never opened... -
Need help with InDesign Data Merge
I have set up a 5 x 8 postcard to print two up. When I use the multiple records option expecting to get two different addresses per page, it does not work. I get one address per page repeated twice. It also shifts all the graphi content of my postcard over about two inches to the right. Am I misunderstanding how the multiple records option is supposed to work? I am not using a multiple page document.
To do multiple records per page you must have only one set of placeholders set up. ID will duplicate everything on the page.

Please help with slideshow problems!
Am using Photoshop Elements 8 and trying to make a slideshow. Have tried 4 times now and keep ending up with same problem, cannot reopen project to continue edititing. Won't show up in orginizer and when I find on harddrive and try to open get message " wmv file cannot be opened". How can I save a
slideshow inprogress and be able to reopen and continue to edit and make slideshow? I want to thank anyone who can help me with this in advance as I
have gotten so frustrated that I want to just scream.
ThanksThanks for the help, thought I had done so but maybe not. Anyway will have another go at it, now may I ask another
question? I am trying to add audio to slideshow. I have some music I purchased thru amazon as mp3 files but I get
message no codec and when I try to add wmv I get same message. What type of file do I need and how can I add
multiple songs to one slideshow. I have one little wmv file that will go in, but it just replicates itself multiple times until
it fills slide show.
Thanks again, sorry to be a bother, but this thing is driving this old man crazy.

Subject: Please help with slideshow problems!
You need to save the slideshow project in order to be able to go back later and make changes or additions to an existing slideshow . The wmv file is a final output format.
Now you are most probably using only the Output command: that is what makes the wmv file.
You should also do the Save Project command. (and I make it a practice to do the Save Project command before I do the Output command).
If you look at the Elements Organizer 8 Help, there is a topic on "Create a slide show".
-- Very close to the beginning of that topic is a screen shot of the Sldie Show Editor screen,
-- The bar below the usual menu bar is labeled with a "B" and called the Shortcuts bar.
-- The 1st entry on that Shortcuts bar is "Save Project"
It is the Save Project command that saves the information about which photos, audio, etc you placed in that specific slide show so that you can come back again to do subsequent editing. Save each Project with a unique name.
After completing the Save Project command, you shoud see an "icon" in the Organizer for that slide show.
Note: you must also keep the photo files and audio files which you have used in this slide show: you can't delete them because the project file does NOT contain a copy of the photos, it only has the identification and folder location of the photo and audio files.

I switched over from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S3 & I haven't been able to receive any text messages from iPhones. I have no problem sending the text messages but I'm not receivng any from iPhones at all. It has been about a week now that I'm having this problem. I've already tried fixing it myself and I also went into the sprint store, they tried everything as well. My last option was to contact Apple directly. Please help with turning my iMessage completely off so that I can receive my texts.
If you registered your iPhone with Apple using a support profile, try going to https://supportprofile.apple.com/MySupportProfile.do and unregistering it. Also, try changing the password associated with the Apple ID that you were using for iMessage.

Please help with the message I am receving on startup ""You can't open the application NovamediaDiskSupressor because PowerPC applications are no longer supported."
I have read some of the replies in the Apple Support Communities, but as I am no techie, I would have no idea how I would implement that solution.
Please help with what I need to type, how, where, etc.
Many thanks
AppleSueIn HunterCreekI am afraid there is no solution.
PowerPC refers to the processing chip used by Apple before they transferred to Intel chips. They are very different, and applications written only for PPC Macs cannot work on a Mac running Lion.
You could contact the developers to see if they have an updated version in the pipeline. -

[ETL]Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes ?
Hi all,
Could you please help with a problem accessing UML stereotype attributes and their values ?
Here is the description :
-I created a UML model with Papyrus tool and I applied MARTE profile to this UML model.
-Then, I applied <<PaStep>> stereotype to an AcceptEventAction ( which is one of the element that I created in this model ), and set the extOpDemand property of the stereotype to 2.7 with Papyrus.
-Now In the ETL file, I can find the stereotype property of extOpDemand as follows :
s.attribute.selectOne(a|a.name="extOpDemand") , where s is a variable of type Stereotype.
-However I can't access the value 2.7 of the extOpDemand attribute of the <<PaStep>> Stereotype. How do I do that ?
Please help
Thank youHi Dimitris,
Thank you , a minimal example is provided now.
Version of the Epsilon that I am using is : ( Epsilon Core 1.2.0.201408251031 org.eclipse.epsilon.core.feature.feature.group Eclipse.org)
Instructions for reproducing the problem :
1-Run the uml2etl.etl transformation with the supplied launch configuration.
2-Open lqn.model.
There are two folders inside MinimalExample folder, the one which is called MinimalExample has 4 files, model.uml , lqn.model, uml2lqn.etl and MinimalExampleTransformation.launch.
The other folder which is LQN has four files. (.project),LQN.emf,LQN.ecore and untitled.model which is an example model conforming to the LQN metamodel to see how the model looks like.
Thank you
