xfa.host.setFocus("xfa.form.form1.page1.questions.howLongWorking");

else
Button6.execEvent("click");
page2.presence = "visible";

EndIf

I've been hunting for several hours and can't seem to find or correct the problem. Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Hi,

your Script is in FormCalc not in JavaScript.

Make shure your set the correct language in the script editor.

Why are you using brackets here?

var StartDate = (xfa.form.form1.page1.signature.StartDate.rawValue);

you can write it as

var StartDate = xfa.form.form1.page1.signature.StartDate.rawValue

Also, in FormCalc you don't need the semicolon ; at the end of the lines.

And, your keywords "Then" and "EndIf" are wrong, correct is "then" and "endif".

if (StartDate == "") then

     xfa.host.messageBox( "Please enter a Submit Date" )

     xfa.host.setFocus("xfa.form.form1.page1.subForm1.StartDate")

...

elseif (howLongWorking == "") then

     xfa.host.messageBox( "Please indicate how long you anticipate working this arrangement" )

     xfa.host.setFocus("xfa.form.form1.page1.questions.howLongWorking")

else

     Button6.execEvent("click")

     page2.presence = "visible"

endif

I'm still having trouble. I tried to change the script to JavaScript. Now I'm getting "subForm1 not defined" error message. But it appears that subForm1 is set up properly.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
