LiveCycle Form Doesn't Work

[stanleydenman]

I am using LiveCycle ES 8.2/ I have created a form with text fields that I want to be filed from data in a Microsoft Access query. I have created the form with the name of each field corresponding to the name of the appropriate data field in the query. When I tried to fill from Adobe by pointing to the xml file I am taken back to my form and absolutely NOTHING happens. wizard is demanding an xml file, so in Access I created an XML file from the query. Then in adobe again, in my form, I select the xml file and walla – NOTHING.

Moved to the LiveCycle Designer forum.

Thanks for the houskeeping response.  I response on the substance of the question would be ever so helpful.

Have ordered Acrobat X since this forum is apparently worthless.  thanks for the lack of support.

This forum is a JOKE.

This forum is mostly staffed by volunteers, I'm not sure how many of us check the forums every day, I don't, so sometimes you may have to wait for a response.

I've not done any work with databases so can only point you at some resources.

Here's a tech talk on connecting xfa forms to databases:

There's quite a bit of stuff about connecting to databases on Stefan Cameron's blog but it seems to be down at the moment.

There are also a lot of threads in the forums here about xfa forms and access databases:
