Set form as New form.

Hello,
I have recently started placement and have been asked to develop a sharepoint form. I have created an elabourate form and have recieved full admin rights to the sharepoint system (for a nation wide company... big surprise i know). I have never used sharepoint
or info path until a few weeks ago.
Ive been trying to set the form as the default so when a user selects new the form will open and they can fill it in. As soon as someone does this they are propted with.
"select the form template to open this XML file"
I have put in the form template i created but when doing so I get the error...
"The element 'comment' is used but not declared in the DTD/Schema"
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had an issue about the InfoPath form.
Did you publish the form to SharePoint? You can publish the form, then check whether it works.

There is an article about customizing the SharePoint list form in InfoPath, you can have a look at it.

Webutil-Problem (not the usual "PRE-FORM", "WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE" etc.)

Hello,
We have an application with lots of modules, where we use webutil to create text files on the client for data exports. The export is called in a WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger and usually works fine, but we have the following problem:
If two modules, where webutil is used, are opened at the same time and one module is closed, webutil does not function anymore in the other module. If we then try to create a text file after closing on module, we get the following error-message:
Oracle.forms.webutil.file.FileFunctions bean not found.
WEBUTIL.FILE.FILE_SELECTION_DIALOG_INT will not work.
It’s not only the FileFunctions bean, all other webutil functions do not work also anymore in the remaining module.
This is not the usual “PRE-FORM”, “WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE” etc. Webutil-Problem.
As I said before, webutil works, but when we close one module with webutil used, it does not work in another open module anymore.
Any Idea, why this happens and how to solve the problem???
Kind regards
Udo

Hello,
Yes, both modules work in the the same session and session is not disconnected, when one of the modules is closed.
Webutill.pll is attached on both forms and all forms in our application using webutil usually work fine with the exception mentioned above.
It's a bit difficult to explain, what happens in our application, but I try:
Our application consists of modules that call other modules with call_form or go_form , when the module is open, all in the same session. "Global" Parameters are passed with SHARE_LIBRARY_DATA. Usually the calling forms stays open.
In the following constellation webutil does not work anymore at a certain point :
- Open module A (with webutil attached) and webutil works
- Then module A calls module B (with webutil attached) and webutil works in module B
- GO_FORM (module A) and webutil still works (while module B is still open)
- CALL_FORM (module C) (in our case webutil is not attached to this module, but I think that is not the problem) module C closes module B (while module A stays open)
- After making a choice in module C, module C closes itself with EXIT_FORM.
- Go back to the open module A, make a new query with the choice made in module C and webutil does not work anymore in module A

URL show password when calling a new form

Forms 10.1.2.0.2
Java 6.22
Windows XP
FireFox 4.0 and IE 8.0
Hi. When calling another form from within an existing form the new form shows the URL I'm calling, but also includes the parameters I'm passing which happen to include my username and password. Like this:
http://9.35.32.205:7777/forms/frmservlet?pageTitle=Dropper%20E/M&config=TTMSMENU&form=dropper_em&userid=MYUSER/MYPASS@SPARC20
{code)
Is there anyway to suppress the display of the URL or the parameters?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You said:
...When calling another form from within an existing form... Are you calling another form from an already open form using WEB.SHOW? If so, why? There are probably more reasons why you should not do this than the number of reasons to do this. Most importantly is that by opening a new browser to launch another Forms instance, you increase the resource usage on the client, thereby degrading performance.
Why not use CALL_FORM, OPEN_FORM, or NEW_FORM? With any of these, the next form to open will display in the same browser and no login will be required since the user has already logged in at the first form. If the goal is to achieve multiple instances of the same "first" form, well for security sake, I would recommend the user log in manually each time anyway.

Setting focus to a menu item in New Form Instance...

Dear All,
Please let me know how to set focus to a menu item in New Form Instance trigger,
so that as the user opens the form control should be with the menu item and not with the First item of Data Block.

To my knowledge you cannot set input focus to a menu item.
Alternatively you could create a push button and put input focus there.

TS3297 I have just set up a new apple ID account and verified it form my email acount, but i'm still unable to download any apps on my iPhone

I have just set up a new ID and password - I have received the email to my Email account and all verified.
But i am still unable to down load any apps on my iPhone or PC message reads " could not sign in"

The only solution is to change your Apple ID back to its previous state with Apple at My Apple ID using your current password, you don’t need access to this address if it’s previously been used with your Apple ID, once you have saved these details enter the password as requested on your device and then turn off "find my phone" and delete the account from your device.
You should then change your Apple ID back to its current state, save it once again and then log back in using your current Apple ID. Finally, turn "find my phone" back on once again.

Code works on new form not on older form

Hi
I am trying to change an existing form (add some code). I tested the code in a new form I create on my computer but when I do the same on a form supplied and created on a different computer the code won't work
What I see is that the form properties of a new form on my computer give Version 9.xxx and on the form that was created on the other computer the Version is listed as 8.xx
Anyone know how I can convert the Version 8.xx file to a Version 9.xx?
Or someone know how to set a EnclosedOption group from optional to required in Version 8? In version 9 I use Gender.validate.nullTest="error" or Gender.validate.nullTest="disabled" but this doesn't work on the old Version 8.xx PDF File.
Help greatly appreciated!

Jenn Hi
Two more questions if i may.
In the Dynamic version that you sent me we ended up with the entire ExclusionGroup with a large red box around it where in the static each option used to have the Red instead. And it seems to be a very thick red box.
1) Is there anyway to control the width of the Red Box?
2)I switched the version that you sent me back to "Static" and then in the verification options added "color fields" and this gives us the functionality that we originally wanted.
The challenge with this solution is that the "page # of ##" on the master page doesn't render.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I need to set up an expense form so that our consultant can "filter" by customer type, program type, and finally the purpose of the trip. For instance: the customer types are churches, schools, organizations. The program type would be dependent on the customer type selection from the first list. Some examples would be: fund raising, gift planning, surveys, and others. The purpose of the trip would be dependent on the program type selected from the second list. Some examples of trip purposes would be: presentation, design, prospecting. Further, the purpose of trip selection from the third drop-down box would then have to determine the values of other fields by expense type: such as commission, airfare, hotel. etc. I've tried pop-up menu but can't figure out how to "select" from the final popup list and have it populate a field for the purpose of the trip. I've tried to look at the JavaScript examples for dependent drop-down boxes, but can't find any that quite fit what I'm trying to accomplish. I am very new to all of this. No training in writing Javascripts - just trying to wing it. The form has to be very simple for our consultants to use, but also give our office the detail we need to process through the correct account numbers. I would appreciate any detailed step-by-step instructions - kind of a javascript for dummies type of info. HELP!

An AcroForm is the name given to the type of PDF form that you create in Acrobat. An XFA form is the type of form that you create in LiveCycle Designer. Although they are both PDF files, they are very different structurally and have significant;y different scripting models. So pay attention to the information on AcroForms and ignore anything about XFA. Be sure to get the sample PDF forms so you can look at how it works and where the scripts are placed.
What you want to do will require scripting, and if you don't have the experience and are unable to use the information in the tutorials to create what you want, you might consider getting someone who has experience do this for you. I'll often suggest code if I can do so quickly, but what you want requires more than a few minutes.

Apex 3.0 Q: "Optional Label with Help" default when creating new form?

When I create a new application, usually one of the first things I do is set the default item label to "Optional", so I don't have the annoying popup help link.
Now, when you create a new Form region, based on a table, for all the items the label is set to "Optional label with help". Am I right in hoping this is something that was overlooked when developing Apex, and that it will be fixed in version 3.0, so that it sets the items to the default label as set in the Shared Components?
And is there a way to change the labels for a lot of items at the same time, other than changing the theme templates?

AFAIK, label help in default manner is based on column coments of a table.
Later there is now way to easy reedit these values but manually...

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

When-new-form-Instance trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-04062

Hi,
We are facing ORA-04062 (FRM-40735 WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE trigger raised unhandled exception ORA 04062) while trying to run the first form of our Application.
We are using a PL/SQL LIBRARY(.pll) for forms.
We are using 10G Application Server,10G DB and Oracle 9i Forms.
DB Version----10.1.0.4.0
Application Server--9.0.4.0
During compilation, we are following the below steps:
1. Compile the .pll
2.Compile Forms.
When we are running these compiled version of forms and pll in Development server where we are compiling it,we are not facing any error.
But when we are taking these compiled version of forms and pll to the Production Server,we are getting the above error.
When we are compiling the .pll in Production server, Application runs fine.
But we should not compile form or pll in Production server.
Searching in Metalink(Note:73506.1) , we find a solution that remote_dependency_mode if set to signature this problem may be resolved.
We tried that by chaning ' REMOTE_DEPENDENCIES_MODE=SIGNATURE' in Init.ora file in both Production and Development server.
But the error still persist.
I think the problem is regarding .pll.Because for the time being to test the application,I compiled the pll in Production and we didnot get any error while running the Application.
But whenever we are tring to deploy the compiled version of pll (compiling in Development sever) and to run the application in Production, we are facing the error.
Also, pll calls one standard database package in SYS.That standard package has VALID status both in Production and in Development.
We donot have priviledge to change/compile that package.So,we didnot change anything in that package. We didnot change anything in .pll also.
We are upgrading our forms from 6i to 9i.And now when we are trying to deploy it to Production we are facing ORA-04062 error.
Can anyone please help ?

Exactly what procedure or package in SYS are you calling that causes this problem?
<p>Are both test and production databases at the same version?
<p>Do you know what procedure or package is named in the error? If not, then you need to improve your on-error trigger processing. I use a PLL_On_Error trigger to capture and improve a number of Oracle messages. It is posted here:
<p> Re: FRM-40735:Pre_Insert trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-20011
<p>Note especially the part near the end that deals with FRM-40735. (Not sure, but you may also want to display DBMS_ERROR_TEXT in your situation.)
<p>If that doesn't help find the actual problem, I would pull out my Re: Zdebug -- Download a Forms debugging message tool, and add messages before every call in the when-new-form-instance process to zero-in on the offending call.
<p>If it really IS a call to a system process, I would then experiment with creating a server-side package or stored procedure that calls the process, and then call that stored procedure from my form. That way, you effectively insulate your form from system differences.

How to get the current web url in __redirect in custom new form?

I have created one custom new form of a list in which I want to redirect the user to other page after saving item.
I have placed <input> button to save the item and set the
__redirect attribute to my custom page in Pages library. My site url is like,
<sitecollection>/Pages/Page.aspx for e.x., http://xxx/sites/web/Pages/Page.aspx.
My HTML code in CustomNewForm.aspx is:
<input type="button"
value="Save"
onclick="javascript: {ddwrt:GenFireServerEvent('__commit;__redirect={/Pages/Test.aspx}')}" />
But when press save button it redirects me to http://xxx/Pages/Test.aspx rather than
http://<sitecollection/site/web/Pages/Test.aspx
What should I do?

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to redirect to a customized page in the specific "web" site when you click a save button in you customized new form.
I recommend that you can use the relative URL of the customized page in this site named "web" like “/site/web/Pages/Test.aspx” to implement it.
In my environment, I do this test and the result is that it works well.

Launching a new form using web.show_document

Using 9iAS 9.0.2.1.1. and Forms9i I'm trying to get a form to launch a new browser window and open a new form in it. At present I'm using web.show_document to do this. However, I get an error message stating that 'Connection from new browser window is not supported'. From an earlier thread in this forum I found a possible solution which is to set the session.useCookies to false in the zone.properties, which I have done, but I'm still getting the same error. I've tried restarting the OC4J_BI_Forms OC4J and the HTTP server, but nothing makes any difference. Am I missing something?

If you are attempting to print a report from a when-button-pressed trigger from within a form, you do not have to explicitly specify the server (hostname) nor the port. You can just use what I've found referred to as a virtual path to the server as I have done here:
parm_string := '/reports/rwservlet?config=my_config&report=report_name'
     ||'&desformat=pdf&destype=cache'
     ||'&paramform=no&printjob=no'
     ||'&p_my_user_param1='||v_my_param1
     ||'&p_my_user_param2='||v_my_param2;
web.show_document(parm_string,'_blank');
You can specify a userid/password@connectstring within a named congifuration section of your formsweb.cfg file if necessary, e.g. my_config.
Hope this helps.
