updating a field for a number of forms from an external table

[donn44157260]

Good Day All;

This one I could not find in the help section.

I have designed a number of forms that all use the same “rates of pay” (there are 4 categories) for calculating. I was told to expect that a few more forms will be required and these new forms will also be using the same “rates of pay”

Currently I am using “switch” to insert the “rates of pay” when the user selects a category from a dropdown.

Is there a way I can update all the forms from an external “table” instead of having to update each form individually?

Thanks All

Hi,

If the form is Reader enabled with Acrobat, then that is going to cut out data connectons.

You should have a look at John Brinkman's blog: http://blogs.adobe.com/formfeed/2010/07/shared_data_in_packages_part_2.html. Two parts.

Also there is an example of inter-form communication here, but it may be too clunky: http://assure.ly/qQivbm.

Good luck,

Niall

Thanks Niall;

After reviewing the links, I do not think we will go that route.

Thanks again
