Dynamic dropdown not automatically adding new records from db

I have a pdf (LiveCycle Designer ES 8.02) that has one dynamic field that is connected to an 2003 Access db. It worked great the first time that I created it and then distributed, but when a new record is added to the db it does not show up in that distributed pdf. How do I get new records to show up on a distributed form?

Hi,

If the form has been Reader Enabled using Acrobat (as part of the distribution process), then data connections will not work.

A summary is here: http://assurehsc.ie/blog/index.php/2010/05/using-livecycle-forms-in-acrobat-and-reader/

Hope that helps,
