Update Date on SAVE or PRINT (IF Statement)

[Former Community Member]

Hi,

I am currently designing a booking form for my company.

(Link is http://www.sigmastudies.co.uk/downloads/booking_form.pdf)

I have made a date field at the top of the booking form which is based on an IF statement in FormCalc when the form loads to load the current date if blank.

Although, what I want to do is for this IF statement only to come into action when the SAVE or PRINT button is pressed at the bottom.

This would obviously then enable a user to go into the form and have a look before filling it out (... and then saving or printing) without the date updating itself never to update again.

I am struggling as the SAVE/PRINT button are written in javascript yet the IF statement and date  is written in FormCalc.

I appreciate any help anyone can offer,

Thanks

Will

Hi Will,

Here is a link . Try this one . https://acrobat.com/#d=7uG5d8zBFTgU9d68QX1H-A.

Here, instead of putting the If statement to show the date in the layout ready event I have put it in the click event and calling the same event in the click event of Save and Print button.

Thanks.

Hi Bibhu,

Thanks for your fast and great help!!!

It works a dream.

Although, can I stop the event occurring if someone was to accidently click the date field at the top of the page??

Also, how did you manager to decrease the file size.

ALL LOOKS GOOD

Thanks

Will

Hi Will,

You can make the field invisible. So that the user can not see it.In the click event of save and print you can the following code to make it visible.

form1.Page1.Wrapper.BookingForm.Date.presence = "visible";

I did nothing just after developing form instead of saving I did the "SaveAs" operation. Generally SaveAs operation reduces the file size a bit.

Thanks.
