Info about ExportData and ImportData

Avatar

I've a problem...I designed a form with Adobe LiveCycle Designer 7.0 and I

inserted a ExportData button.

The problem is that this function doesn't export all fields that are

contained in the form and by using the ImportData function I can't import

some fields because of a "SoftwareFailure" message.



How can I export all fields? Do they need to be a particular field type?



Thanks,

Alessio

Hi Alessio,



The problem you may have probably has to do with bindings of the fields in your form. For instance if you are binded to a schema or XML, only those fields that are binded will export. If there is one that the binding is set to none, then it will not export along with the others.



I hope that helps.

The user usually fills some fields <br />and then retrieve some data from webservice and only at the end import some <br />data from one XML file. But when he import the data from the XML files all <br />other values in the other fields are deleted. It is possible to avoid this?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Alessio
