I have inserted a table in my form and have included an Add New Row button to insert additonal rows. I want a maximum of 16 rows added with a subtotal field. I want the table, then to automatically go to a new page with a subtotal field. At the end of all pages I want to include a total field. The table goes to the next page after a number of rows are entered, but there is not a break; the original form continues. How do conditionally break the page and have a (new) table display in the second page?

Thanks for your help.

Are you looking for a page total but at the end have all rows (regardless of page added together)?

I have a dynamic table in the form. At the end of page 1 I want a subtotal. Then, I want the user to be able to click on the Add a Row button and go to Page 2. Page 2 would also display the Header and Add a Row button. I tried adding a New Page button and limiting the row count to 16(end of page). However, it does not work. I can a new page that displays the header but will not add rows to the second page.

Thank you for your help.

You shoudln't be doing any limiting .....in the Pagination options you can simply continue the table on the next page and you can determine

if you want the Header or Footer to appear etc.

Right. But I want a subtotal on each page of the document. If I don't limit, the table is one continuace document. It totals everything in the table, not just individual pages. So, essentially, I want to restart the table on each page. If I'm making any sense.

Attached is a copy, I've removed the limit and page button.

To add to my just sent message. I want individual pages with subtotals and a total on the last page.

You can accomplish that with a single table and some creative script. I suggest that you get the table worked out and working correctly then we can add in the page totals and final total afterwards. Once the table is ready email the form to LiveCycle8@gmail.com and I will put together a sample for you that shows what to do. Please include a description of what you want to do with the email as the mail message and this forum are not tied together. Also if you have a data file that fills out the table that would be useful as well.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for working with me on this. I have sent a copy to the gmail.com address. I'm new to LiveCycle, so please forgive me.

Paul, would it be possible you attach the form here? The rest of us are interested in the solution(s) as well and we could learn that way. We can't upload it ourselves, you do have that option.

Assuming pdfross does not mind sharing his/her form than I do not see why not.

Paul

I would prefer to have the content of the Register Code column removed. Otherwise, I do not mind sharing it.

OK here is the sample that shows how to do it.

Hi Paul,

The Page Total field doesn't work. The Grand Total shows the totals from all pages but Page Total doesn't calculate at all.

The totals disappear when the Add Another Row button is clicked.

Thats because the DDList has strings in it. I cannot modify the calc until you choose something from the list. If it was simply a numeric field instead of a list then you woudl not have the issue.

Hi Paul,

One last question, I am trying to tab between fields, the fields in the header are numbered. I do not want to include them in my tab order. Is there a way to get rid of the numbers or have them ignored?

Thanks

If you make the fields protected then they will not appear in the tabbing order.

Paul

Is it possible to protect a header row? If so, how? I don't see an option under the Object tab.

The fields that are in the individual cells shoudl be "protect-able".
