Fetch data from a Data model

Hi,

I have seen a sample where a HTML5 form is calling a Data Model on an event.

What we are looking for is the possibility to add some data and use that to call a DM.

Anyone that could point me in the right direction or have a sample?

regards

Tommy

Tommy,

The form Data model is meant to work with Adaptive Forms authoring.

Please see [1]. 

For HTML5 forms, most features work the same as they do in PDF. Here is a list of the differences at [2].

If you setup an OLEDB connection in your XDP to pass data into your form, I believe the DB connection should still work server side. I'm not sure if the connection is supported on the client. 

I have not tried this myself in HTML5 forms, but most of the XFA constructs [2] are still supported server side if I am not mistaken.
