Hi,
I have created a complex form that has a lot of interdependencies and calculation scripts. The target version is set to "Reader 9.1. or later". I had a user get an error on a FormCalc script on the preOpen event of a dropdown box.
The error message appears to indicate trouble accessing (looking up) values in a table where all the rows are named "Row" and all the cells are named "Cell" and an addItem(), "for/do" script to populate the dropdown box. I posted this issue a few weeks back and tried a suggestion of using a more complete SOM (including: ..Row[index].Cell[index].value.float.value) which again ran without error for me, but unfortunately not for this user.
I have used this preOpen, addItem(), "for/do" scripting technique reliably in the past and this error was something I had never experienced. I had the user to upgrade to Reader 10 (from 9.1) and this fixed the problem. I am getting reports of the same error by other users, and I will have them all upgrade, of course.
Looking at the Release Notes for both versions 9.1 and 10, I find nothing remotely related to this issue--and I have used the exact same scripting technique that has worked perfectly in the past with all users . In fact, this same user doesn't get the error on other similar preOpen scripts. And, besides, the target version is set to "Reader 9.1. or later".
Obviously the work-around is Reader 10. But, I'd like to understand why the error in 9.1 and why does 10 fix it?
Anyone have knowledge of this?
Thanks,
Stephen
