Could not find the record specified with data_record option

[dseze]

Hi, we've got the same error in a couple of templates, but have no idea what can be the cause or solution. Does anyone know where I should look when I got "Could not find the record specified with data_record option" as message?

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Just a guess, but if you go into the XML Source view and locate "<record>", do you find something, it should be under common/data elements.

If you do try deleting the element. (take a copy of your template first)

Unfortunately the common / data elements sections does not contain record . It looks like this:

<common>

         <data>

            <xsl>

               <uri/>

            </xsl>

            <outputXSL>

               <uri/>

            </outputXSL>

         </data>

      </common>

Hi Raf,

That is what it normally is.  I thought it might be related to a multi-record form, like in this blog http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2009/09/working_with_multiple_data_rec.html.

That blog does not really go into it, but if your "record" is not the directly under the <xfa:data> element then you need a <record> element under config/data to say what the node is, something like <record>Worker</record>.

You error message sounded familiar but I have not been able to reproduce it, but then I've moved on a couple of versions of Designer.

Is it possible for you to share your form and seed data?

Regards

Bruce
