Thank you, Paul.I first started using JavaScript and the resolveNodes method with .length, and made several attempts without success (likely for the reasons you cite here). I then rewrote the script in formCalc with and without resolveNodes to see if I would have any better luck (especially since fo...

I have a form where there are multiple intstances of tableRows inside a Repeating Subform.Subform[*]     ..TableRow[*]I want to devise a way to round up all the information contained in fields in the TableRows and populate other fields with some of that data, in a different subform, in a different p...

First, put bound values on the dropdown items in the "object" pallet "Binding" tab:Like:Yes has bound value = 1No has a bound value = 0.Then,Put on the "exit" event on both dropdown boxes and choose "JavaScript" for the scripting language://////////////////////////////if (this.rawValue == "1" && B.r...

Milly,Often you can get some clues from the "Report" pallet, "Warnings" tab at the bottom of the work space.

A great big "Thank you!" to Paul, as well.

Everything worked great through development--except, when I demonstrated the form for a group, I noticed the drop-down boxes were populating twice. I wasn't using a clearItems()--shouldn't have needed it, ri...

Hi Chomp,When in Design View:If you highlight the dropdown box in the Hiarchy pallet, does it stay highlighted? or does the highlighting flip to someother object?If you click on it directly in the workspace. does it show "Drop-down list" in the Object pallet for the "Type"?  or something unexpected?...

I would like to add 2 things to consider.Choosing the event for your dropdown box to populate is important. One powerful event to consider is the preOpen event that is available to dropdown boxes. This event doesn't take place until the user clicks on the dropdown list tab. This allows you to popula...

Hi Milly Mac,You had a number of issues. Part of the problem was your Master Page setup. I defined the "Content Area", the Master Page and the Page1 Subform. I eliminated most of your subforms and made all the remaining Subforms flowed, rather than positioned (partially due to my preference and in m...
