Stop a calculated date from updating each time the form opens

I have a calculated "read only" Date field, that populates the current date. how do I stop this from re-calculating the date once it is submitted?

Hi Niall,
Is there a way I can change this script (below) to populate the date field only if the form is "dirty", so it will automatically update once something is changed on the form. I just dont know what to put in the Javascript to make it update the date. I only know how to do it automatically in Form Calc
Sample:
var
MyDoc = event.target;MyDoc.dirty
= true;app.exec("???");

Adobe Form - Problem of data not refreshing each time the form is called

Dear All,
I have created a web dynpro component comprsing of two views.
In the first view i am displaying an ALV which is bound to an internal table.
After selecting one record i click on a button which calls the second view and in the second view
i am displaying an adobe form.
i have provided a native wd submit button which again calls the first view.
The first time when i select the record it works fine and shows me correct data.
but second time onwards it shows me the data one previous to the current row selected.
Kindly give your valuable suggestions>
Regards,
Niti

Instead of using in the java code.
For the html page and in jsp pages use the following code
1) Coding Method:
<META HTTP-EQUIV="PRAGMA" CONTENT="NO-CACHE">
2) Browser setting:
You can adjust the space to store the temporay files. On the Tools menu in Internet Explorer, click Internet Options, On the General tab, click Settings. you can select the newer version radio button also, adjust the "amount of disk space to use" slider towards the left side(equivalent to disable the cache)..

How to create a unique file name each time the form is saved?

I've got a form with several data items. When the user saves the form, it saves it as an .xml file. So far so good. But then I want the user to be able to start over and put in a new data set. I used the reset form button and this clears out the old data. But when the user goes to save the form for the second set of data, the default name of the .xml file is the same as the last record set. How do I get LCD to create a unique data name each time the form is saved? I know that the user can enter a new name, but I do not want them to have to think that much.
Alternatively, is there a way that a user can enter several forms of data and save all of the data in one XML file that my PDF can scroll through or that I can import into excel and keep all of the data sets separate?

Thanks Paul for the post. It sounds like this program is simply not designed for one user to keypunch a batch of forms. It would appear to limit the program's use to users who only need to key in one record/form. While a good solution for multiple users who need to enter just one set of data, the limitation would explain why this program is not widely used.

Firefox 3.6.8 asks to update each time it is opened

3.6.8. was installed and now when I open Firefox it wants to update each time. Also after installing 3.6.8 I have had BSOD 3 times times, so I don't allow it to update and so far no more BSOD. Windows 7 ultimate.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after updating to 3.6.8

Did you install an extension?

Meaningful Data from 'questions' - done in the form of a quiz

I'm trying to get some meaning data from a quiz - currently i get back a series of numbers and commas - like this:
Core Data
"Status","Location","Raw Score","Max Score","Min Score","Time"
"completed","4","0","0","0","00:00:18"
That doesnt say how they answered? Perhaps i'm using the wrong question type.
I'm not quizzing these people as such, just using the quiz functionality to get them to answer a series of questions. I've gone for the type "Rating Scale-Survey questions"
The questions I’m asking are :
"Would you like to hear about the following deals we've got on:"
a) - application 1 (yes or no)
b) - application 2 (yes or no)
And
"when choosing your training, how important is x on a scale of 1-5"
Is there a better way of doing these questions?
Does anyone know of a good place to find templates for this sort of thing where we can stick our project logos and branding?

Changing field entries each time the form is sent

I am trying to create a document that I an fill out certain details and then send them to my clients for them to fill out their part. Each form will have the same questions, but the answers on my side will change depending on the client. So I need to be able to cater each one to the client. Is that possible?
Its for wedding/event agreements. So I will say here is the details of your services and then they will fill our their contact info and other items....The form fields will remain the same. But the part I'm filling ot will be different each time...Hope that makes sense

You can do this if you use a PDF form. You would have to add your information with Acrobat and then set those fields to read-only or flatten them so that the recipient won't be able to change the data. You'd then have to distribute the form with FormsCentral and send it out, assuming you need to collect the data with FormsCentral. The alternative is enabling the document with Acrobat and requesting that they email the completed form back to you. You lose the security that FormsCentral provides however.

Is there a routine one can use to shift the column of data by one each time the loop index increments? In other words, increment the columns that the data is being saved by using the index?

The device, an Ocean Optics spectrometer in columns of about 9000 cells.I'm saving this as a lvm file using the "write to measurement file.vi". But it doesn't give me the flexibility as far as I can tell.
I need to move the column by the index of the for loop, so that when i = n, the data will take up the n+1 column. (the 1st column is used for wavelength). How do I use the "write to spreadsheet file.vi" to do this? Also, if I use the "write to spreadsheet file.vi", is there a way one can increment the file name, so that the data isn't written over. I like what "write to measurement file.vi" does.
I'd really appreciate any help someone can give me. I'm a novice at this, so the greater the detail, the better. Thanks!!!

You cannot write one column at a time to a spreadsheet file, because a file is arranged linearly and adding a column would need to move (=read and rewwrite elsewhere) almost all existing elements to interlace the new data. You can only append new rows without having to touch the already written data.
Fields typically don't have fixed width. An exception would be binary files that are pre-allocated at the final size. In this case you can write columns by setting the file positions for each element. It still will be very inefficient.
What you could do is append rows until all data is written, the read, transpose, and write back the final file.
What you also could to is build the final array in a shift register and write the entire things to file at once after all data is present.

HOW DO I STOP MY JSP PAGE FROM INSERTING DATA IN DATABASE EACH TIME REFRESH

Hi,
HOW DO I STOP MY JSP PAGE FROM INSERTING DATA IN DATABASE EACH TIME REFRESH?

ThanksSTOP SHOUTING!
now, while displaying the form generate some random number, or take the current time in millis or whatever. Put that number in a hidden field. Insert that unique number along with the real data into the database, but before you do check if the number already exists. If it does you can be pretty sure this is a resubmit of the same data, so don't allow it. This is one way of many to prevent resubmission of existing data.
A good way to prevent a refresh from resubmitting altogether is to do a redirect to a result page right after you deal with the POST request. When the user presses refresh then, he/she will refresh the redirect and not the form submit.

Extraction time while updating the data from update rule

Hello Friends,
Can you please tell me that why it is taking more time while updating the data from update rule to data target.
I believe that it is taking 40% of total extraction time.
Is there any specific reason for it?
Prompt reply will be appreciated.
Regards,

hi,
check if you have complex transformation in that update rules, like calculation, read from other tables, etc.

How to read updated data from a real-time generated file?

I have a question:
I want to read the 10 mostly updated data from a real time generated data file. The data in this file is accumulated. how can i read mostly recently data to an applet? and further to using this data to draw a real-time graph? pls help
kelvin t.l. tse

Hi,
I think there is no "typical" way. You will have to define a convention on how the new data are stored into the file, so as to know how to accessthem. If new data are simply put at theend of your file, you may use a RandomAccessFile to read only those lines that interest you (the 1 final lines).Otherwise, you should at least know how the data file is written.
You can know if thedata file has been modified with the File.lastModified() method. This retrurns a long value corresponding to the date and hour the file was last modified. Store that value ito you appl. and perdiodically (use a Thread), compare that value with the value returned by lastModief(). If both value are NOt equal, then the file has been updated
it's all a question of knowing how the data are stored into the datafie generated.
Be also aware that you will probably have problem when your java appl. tries to read the file at the same time it is updated by the other application. I guess when theother application writes data into the file, you will not be able to read it. So, use try{} catch statements and first check to see if you can read the file with File. canRead(). If not, simply delay the reading process by asking a Thread.yield() or Thread.delay (1000)...

How can I stop a sound from looping so it plays only once each time the up key is pressed?

Hi there here is my code, the basis is it is playing a mp3 from my library.
Basically as the topic suggests I only want the sound to play once each time the UP arrow key is pressed. At the moment when you hold the up arrow down the sound keeps triggering and looping and gets really loud and noisy.
Here is my code for my game:
package com.chasegame.components
          import flash.display.MovieClip;
          import flash.display.Stage;
          import flash.events.Event;
          import com.tech.utils.KeyObject;
          import flash.ui.Keyboard;
          import flash.media.Sound;
          import flash.media.SoundChannel;
          public class SpaceShip extends MovieClip
                    private var key:KeyObject;
                    private var speed:Number = 0.3;
                    private var rotateSpeed:Number = 5;
                    private var vx:Number = 0;
                    private var vy:Number = 0;
                    private var friction:Number = 0.95;
                    private var shipSound:roar = new roar();
                    private var shipSoundChannel:SoundChannel = new SoundChannel();
                    public function SpaceShip () : void
                                        key = new KeyObject(stage);
                                        addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, loop, false, 0, true);
                    public function loop(e:Event) : void
                                        if (key.isDown(Keyboard.UP))
                                                       vy += Math.sin(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
                                                       vx += Math.cos(degreesToRadians(rotation)) * speed;
                                                       shipSoundChannel = shipSound.play();
                         else
                                                       vy *= friction;
                                                       vx *= friction;
                              if (key.isDown(Keyboard.RIGHT))
                                        rotation += rotateSpeed;
                              else if (key.isDown(Keyboard.LEFT))
                                        rotation -= rotateSpeed;
                              y += vy;
                              x += vx;
                              if (x > stage.stageWidth)
                                        x = 0;
                              else if (x < 0)
                                        x = stage.stageWidth;
                              if (y > stage.stageHeight)
                                        y = 0;
                              else if (y < 0)
                                        y = stage.stageHeight;
                    public function degreesToRadians(degrees:Number) : Number
                              return degrees * Math.PI / 180;

If you want the sound to only play once when the key is pressed then you don't want to have it in the ENTER_FRAME event handler like you have it. It is starting new sounds at the frame rate of your file the way you have it now.
Try having an event listener dedicated to a KeyboardEvent.KEY_DOWN event where you detect when the UP key gets pressed and use that to trigger playing the sound.

We both use the same iPad my father and I as of today, as is letting me use it too from now on (sweet! ), I do not want to make a mistake and accidently use my father's ID & passwords (dohh ), but each time the ID & Password pops up it ask for his (???), how can I access mine, so it's my account and financials being used. Thanks to any of those gifted with this knowlegde... AMAKANGAROO

In order to reliably save the info and be able to restore at a later date, you would need to use his AppleID.
Switch to it on iTunes, back the iPad up and confirm the backup exists (Preferences / Devices), then switch to yours, wipe the iPad and start afresh. Will also wipe his apps, as they are tied to the AppleID as well.

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in monochrome instead of colour? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in

Is there a PS setting where it can read my Canon Mark 3 5D's monochrome setting so that the files will also appear in the same monochrome structure (instead of appearing in colour as it is now when i open in PS, not even monochrome)? Or do I have to change from RAW each time to Monochrome within PS (even if I have set up for Monochrome in my 5D)?
1. Basically I am taking photos with a monochrome setting with my 5D and the screen shows monochrome.
2. when i import this onto my computer and open with PS, it opens in colour.
3. when I change this to Monochrome in PS. (It cannot read my monochrome setting with my preference of the greyscale mix when I viewed it on my 5D)
4. my question is: is there a way so that PS can read the monochrome setting from my 5D and display the same monochrome setting as my 5D instead of a different one from PS.
Lily

you need camera raw 6.7 or better.
i don't know what version of ps you have so i can't say if it can be updated to use that, but update anyway.
