Events script not showing up in designer

[Paul_Dokken]

I am working on a form using ES4 version 11 and when I try to view the Javascript code for the events nothing shows up.  I also cannot preview the form using the preview tab.  It just hangs.  When I quit and restart the form sometimes the script code shows up.  Any idas what may be causing this?

Hi,

This does happen to me sometimes, I'm guess that sometimes when an exception is thrown in one of the early events then the preview fails and the only way to recover is to restart Designer.

Try going to the temp directory, just type "%temp%" (without the quotes in the Windows Explorer address bar), you should see a PDF file with a generated name something like, _12fk26d9o1adb71lh.pdf.  This is the file Designer generates when trying to do a preview.  Open this file in Acrobat (with the "When Exception is thrown" option set to break) and you should see what is causing the exception.

Good luck
