Populating text boxes from a dropdown list connected to an Access DB

Hi, I have successfully connected to a MS Access data with a Dynamic Drop down box but I am having trouble scripting the change with a script that works to populate the 3 text fields with the remaining data from the 3 columns associated with the item chosen in the drop down box.
Also does the program support being able to use the drop down box and the fields to add data to the DB. I have just started using LiveCycle Designer 8.
Thanks.

Try this code on the exit event of your dropdown list:
tfList.rawValue = tfList.rawValue + " " + this.rawValue;
I'm presuming that the list you're adding items to is called tflist. If it doesn't work, let us know.

  • How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

    Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
    I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year  has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them.  I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
    I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
    Are you able to help me with this?
    Many thanks

    The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
    The comment at the top of the code:
    // Custom calculate script for text field
    should help clarify the placement location for the code.
    Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

  • How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

    Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
    To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
    If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
    The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
    If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
    In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
    The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
    Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity

  • Populating Text Field from Dropdown in Repeating Subforms

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to create a dropdown in a repeating subform that populates a text field in the same subform depending on the option selected.
    I used the functionality described here to acheive the text field population in the first row, but I have trouble when I add additional instances of my subform. In subsequent instances, when I select an option from the dropdown, it changes the text in my first textbox and does not populate anything in the repeated textbox.
    I'm not sure how to get this to work for each added instance and/or how to keep each instance separate from one another.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Can you repost the question - some funny formatting issue

  • How do I display Text linked to a dropdown list selection in a form?

    Ok, I have a form that has a dropdown list with several selections. What I want to have happen is when someone selects one of the options from the dropdown, I want to have text displayed to the right of that information that pertains to that selection.

  • How do I remove text boxes from Pages

    I have an awful time with Pages on my lap top.  I am used to Appleworks  6.2 on my older desktop (PowerMac G4 / OS 10.4.11).  If I specify a US letter page I get that in Appleworks, it  is then 8.1/2" x 11", without running into pre-existing formats or other similar distractions. I can immediately type a neat business letter.
    Not with Pages.  On my MacBookAir, with Pages 4.3 and OS 10.8.4, I can type alright, but when I want to print what I typed, only a small part of what I typed shows up in in Print Preview of my typed page.  After a bit of backtracking,  I notice a blue-lined rectangle on my typed page containing the portion of my typing that appeared in that Print Preview.  It is apparently a self-formed "text box", that was not a part of my blank template page and was not inserted by me while or just before I typed.
    I did not find any way to delete the edges of that text box. The "delete" option under the pull down edit menu is blanked out.  If I click on the "Text box " symbol in the menu bar it does not let me switch off the text box, but instead gives me another text box inside the first one!  I suppose this is to allow user to print only a single keyboard stroke of the entire letter.  The "Inspector" seems to have no options to set text boxes.
    Pages "Help" Menu has nothing of how to delete a text box, or how to prevent it in the first place from screwing up what you have typed in such manner that it becomes unprintable.
    Similarly a small rectangular box formed on both the top and the bottom of each page (which could be a space reserved for a header or footer), but again I do not use these on my business letters, and they appear self-formed by Pages, and I would like to know how to prevent them, or delete them.
    In other words I like to get a blank page to start with, which will only set up and type what "I, THE  USER" enter on my keyboard. 
    Can anybody tell me how to this with Pages? 
    (PS. I can do it with even with Thunderbird !)

    1. Open a blank Word Processing template (they are listed in the Template Chooser sidebar), you have opened a Layout template that requires Textboxes for you to type into.
    2. To select a Textbox hold down the command key and click on its edge or lassoo it, then hit delete.
    3. If you don't want Headers or Footers, uncheck them in the Document Inspector
    4. Download the Pages09_UserGUide.pdf from under the Help menu and familiarise yourself with Pages' basics. Also look around your Menus and Inspectors which are laid out logically from left to right from broad to details.
    I suggest you click inside your textbox first go command a and copy the contents before you delete it and then paste that into a new Word Processing template.

  • How load text into dynamic text boxes from external file?

    hi all,
    my animation is very simple - a background image and 2 text boxes.  one of the textboxes shows a large word, which crossfades to another word, with a total of about 12 words (showing one at a time in different text boxes fading in & out in the same spot).
    i need a way to have the text be imported dynamically via xml or json (xml preferred).  this article is a good start, but i noticed he's putting all of the text into one box - i need separate strings put into separate boxes from the xml.
    Chris Gannon - Loading XML via AJAX into Adobe Edge
    he uses
    var outputField = $(this.lookupSelector(“xmlOutput”));
    for his text box.  what would be the best way to revise this code to include all my individual strings to be loaded into my individual text boxes?  thinking an array might work, but my js skills are limited.
    any other suggestions or tutorials you could point me to would be appreciated.
    thanks!!

    thanks joel_pau !
    this is helpful in seeing how the array is created, but after giving it a go I became a little confused.
    i wound up trying it again based on the example i linked out to previously, but it's not adding the text from my xml file when previewing.
    here's the code i'm using in edge animate on my stage.  something must be wrong somewhere.  let me know if you have any suggestions on this.
    // insert code to be run when the composition is fully loaded here
    // here i'm assigning a variable to each one of my textboxes at they're named in my edge animate comp
    var outputField1 = $(this.lookupSelector("helps2"));
    var outputField2 = $(this.lookupSelector("communicate"));
    var outputField3 = $(this.lookupSelector("experience"));
    var outputField4 = $(this.lookupSelector("interact"));

    var outputField14 = $(this.lookupSelector("evolve"));
    var outputField15 = $(this.lookupSelector("connect"));
    var outputField16 = $(this.lookupSelector("achieve"));
    $.ajax({   
        type: "GET",
        url: "myxmlfile.xml",
        dataType: "xml",
        success: function(xml) {
    //here i'm trying to load the the text in my xml file into my textboxes in edge animate.  'txt1, txt2, txt3' are the tags in my xml file
            outputField1 = $(xml).find('txt1').text();
            outputField2 = $(xml).find('txt2').text();
            outputField3 = $(xml).find('txt3').text();
            outputField4 = $(xml).find('txt4').text();
            outputField5 = $(xml).find('txt5').text();
            outputField6 = $(xml).find('txt6').text();

            outputField15 = $(xml).find('txt15').text();
            outputField16 = $(xml).find('txt16').text();
    but nothing happens on preview.  my textboxes still contain the original text that lives in my comp.

  • Auto-populating Infopath fields from a Sharepoint list after selecting a drop down

    I currently have two lists one titled 'Book of Work' which holds details around on-going projects and the other titled 'Book of Work Amendments' which are requests submitted by users to change project details (through an infopath form).
    There is a column in the BoW Amendments list entitled 'Select Project' which has a lookup to 'Project Name' in the BoW list. The aim is that when a user chooses an option from the 'Select Project' drop-down, other fields in the form such as 'Project Manager',
    'Project Description' will be automatically populated with data from that row in the BoW table.
    I have connected both Sharepoint Lists as data connections with BoW Amendments being the primary and BoW the secondary. If we take the Project Manager field as an example the method I have attempted is as follows:
    . Create a rule with condition Select Project is not blank
    . Action - Set a field's value: Field: Project Manager (BoW Amendments - Primary) Value:
    Project Manager (BoW - Secondary) Add Filter: Project_Name (BoW - Secondary) =
    Select Project (BoW - Primary)
    Currently this is not populating the field when the project is selected in the drop down, any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi Josh,
    This should be straight forward. You do not need BOW Amend data connection. You are creating requests in this list so this will be your Main Data Connection.
    When creating the rule on the drop down, select Action:
    Condition: anytime the value changes, Set a field's value - Project Manager (Main); Value - Project Manager(BOW) where Project[BOW] = Project [Main]
    Hope it helps.

  • Undesired database update from a dropdown list

    Hi,
    I'm using a dropdown list as a criteria to search data in another table which has reference over the data that is displayed in the dropdown list.
    My problem is that when I change the selection of the dropdownlist the data is changed with the new selection, I don't want than my selection change any data of the database.
    Do you know how I can create a dropdownlist independent of any field of the data base, but at the same time that the dropdown list take the list of values from the database?
    Thanks,
    Pedro

    One thing you can try is creating a binding in Navigation mode. In the Data Control Palette, select your view instance, instead of the attribute. Select combo box from the "Drag and Drop As" box, and drag the view instance to your page/screen. On the bindings tab of the structure window, double-click the new binding, and you can select which attribute you want your control to display.
    Otherwise, you would have to override the list model with your own, and plug in whatever values you want it to display.

  • Populating text fields from dynamic select

    I have been searching the net for a javascript/ajax solution
    that will populate a number of text fields based on the selection
    from a dynamic select field. Specifically, when the person selects
    a company name, the companies address and phone number gets pulled
    from a second recordset that gets filtered by the choice from the
    dropdown. This needs to be done without postback.
    The page is built using php/mysql and the select is populated
    by one of the recordsets.
    Any direct help or steering to a solution would be
    appreciated.

    Thanks for the reply.
