This may be too obvious a solution, but the standard approach to get a
header row to repeat on tables that expand beyond the initial page is
to:Select the header row from the table hierarchy. On the Object tab,
select the Pagination subtab.Under "if dataset must be paginated,"
ensure that "Include Header Row on Initial Page" is checked.Ensure
"Include Header Row in Subsequent Pages" is checked.That should work. If
you need to include multiple rows in the repeat heading, LiveCycle can
be a bit od...
You can change the grid distance from the drawing aids palette. From the
main menu, go to Windows, and Click on Drawing Aids.In the palette you
can change x- and y-grid distance. Options for this palette are found

Bruce:Flipping the code and placing it in the calculate event in the
second table works. I would have never thought of that solution but now
sounds most logical once you explain it.Thank you for solving this
problem.
I have a lengthy form. In some cases, users fill a some cells in a
dynamic table, Each row in the dynamic table has a cell where the row is
summed.I need to copy some of the values from each row in the expandable
table to a comparable table located elsewhere (different page) in the
form. Thanks to help received on this forum, I successfully perform this
task with the following bit of java script in the exit event of the
first dynamic

Something very odd is happening in a complex form I have been working
on.On page 1 of the form, I have a numeric field. The field is meant to
display a percentage and the field has a validation pattern assigned to
you to display the field correctly.After exiting the field however, an
error message is generated from an unrelated computation that may
produce a divide by zero error: arithmetic over / underflow and the
documentation refers to an unrelated computation on page 16 of the
form.The perce...
When only resetting a single field or a limited number of fields on a
form, I have always used the reset button, then altered the code to
select on the field(s) I wanted removed. Note that I have always used
the full address of the field and " " around the field name.
xfa.host.resetData("form1.#subform[0].TextField3");Example can be found
here: Dropbox - Sample2.pdf In this example, the click button only
clears the entry in Textfield3, not all four fields.Good luck.
The form has a submit button that is coded to return to my inbox.
However, several users have reported the mail is going to another inbox.
I have checked the coded on the submit button and have been through all
the XML source code and that email address for the unintended recipient
is no where to be found. Yet it has to be associated with my form
somehow. Any other ideas on where this email source may originate?
OK, I have worked out a procedure that will enable me to capture a
previous value in another text field. This will enable a comparison; if
the two values are not equal, then i will know the user has changed a
value.The field in question is NumericField1. I essentially have 2 dummy
fields (CurrentField and PreviousField1) on which I can perform the
comparison. if I enter a value in NumericField1, then later change that
value, PreviousField1 will capture the previous entry. Thus, if
CurrentField1 ...
I have a complex form that will be used throughout the year wherein the
same user will enter data in various tables throughout the form at the
end of each quarter. In one column in one table, I would like to be able
to tell if an end user has changed the pre-existing values in any of the
25+ numeric fields in one column of the static table. If change is
detected, i would like to change the font color. Changing the color is
easy enough, but how to code the changed value of a object is beyond me.

I did a form that sounds very similar - it has several expandable tables
on the first four pages and a summary page on page 5.Here is a link to
that file:

some guidance. It is a relatively simple matter to insert some Formcalc
code to copy the results from the first several sections and assign that
value to the summary ...
Glad that helped. I had to teach a webinar today so did not have time to
elaborate on what I did to make your form work. To simply illustrate
what I changed, consider the following:Your JavaScript in the click
event of the Add Minutes
button:this.resolveNode('MeetingMinuteSubform._MeetingMinuteTable').addInstance(1);if
(xfa.host.version < 😎 { xfa.form.recalculate(1);}My
code:this.resolveNode('MeetingMinuteSubform._MeetingMinuteTable').addInstance(1);In
other words, the "if" statement was not ne...
I downloaded your form. The problem isn't that the format runs away on
the top of page three, it is because you are adding the 8th instance of
the minutes subform; the height of this form simply takes the 8th
instance to the top of page 3. Look in your add buttons for both the
attendees and minutes table. You have an if (but no else) statement in
the add buttons that seems to indicate you want to limit additional
instances to 8. if that is true, it is easier to set the min/max
property on the bi...
Most use a file sharing program such as Dropbox. This forum does not
allow posts of files. Based on what you said, this sounds like an
Object's Pagination settings need some adjustment. If can you can find a
posting site, let us know.
Without specific information about what is "messing" up, your problem is
difficult to diagnose. Your page three may have different layout or
object settings. Page 3 could be on a different master page. Can you
possibly post the form, along with the specific format issues you are
having with Page 3?
A general question on the efficiency of coding in a form.I have a page
in a complex form that has 33 static rows (that size will not change).
The fifth column of the table is dependent upon a radio group selection.
If the radio group value is 1, then do computation in this cell. If
radio group value is 2, 3, or 4, do another computation in that cell. I
have the formcalc code written do that computation and was about to copy
the formula to all 32 other rows in the table when i hesitated.Is there

i have a series of radio buttons on the first page of a form. Based on
the series selection, i want to populate a text field on page 7 of the
form. I am using this code to successfully populate the field:if
(this.rawValue == "1"){
this.resolveNode("form1.Requisition_Page7.#subform[0].Period").rawValue
= "July 1 - September 30"}This code is in Javascript in the change event
of the radio button list. What i am asking is there a way to add the
year to the text box output (which will vary). The user...
I do not know if the is the best way, but it works and is an effective
method. I have used this technique to develop certification templates
for years.Use the concat function and FormCalc to create the desired
text. I set up a form with two pages. On the first page, I capture the
"insert" information in various text boxes. I se the page's Object
Property for presence to "Visible - Screen Only" so that when the end
user prints, he/she only gets the certification page.On page two, insert
a text bo...
Thanks for the replay.The hidden numeric field is Score 1 in Row 11 in

you can figure out what is wrong?The file is attached.Dropbox -

I have designed a 5 question survey that has multiple subparts to each
question. The use checks a Yes or No Check box for each subpart and i
have built if/then statements that yield, for each question, a text
outcome (Outcome 1 or Outcome 2).I want to create an overall scoring for
the survey. I was thinking of assigning a value of 10 to each Outcome 1
and -10 to Outcome 2. Then i would tally the numeric scores of all five
questions. If the total score >0, then combined answer to the five

I am a relatively novice in coding and have noticed you answer a lot of
questions here. Any chance you could provide a bit of code on how to
implement that?
I have a form to collect data from a region on a quarterly basis. Data
is collected in a dynamic table with the ability to report, by county,
in expandable rows in the table. This functionality is working fine. I
want to dynamically create a second table (based on the first table). I
have set up a button to dynamically creates an exact replica of the
first quarter table for use in filling in second quarter data. I would
like to ensure that when the second quarter table is created, the

When you set your text field to expand, you will likely need to set the
parent object, the page, to flow as well in case you text field is
permitted to expand to another page. If you just put a signature field
under the text box, then set the parent object to flow, you signature
field will appear immediately below the expandable text field.To keep a
set distance between your expandable text field and a signature field,
just insert a Rectangle below the expandable text field. If you want 1
inch s...
Actually, the Pagination Tab was not in order. The pagination tab for
your pages (Main, unnamed page2, and unnamed page3, were set to paginate
to the "Top of the Next Page" thereby creating the page breaks. I fixed
this. I also noted that when opening the file, the form was generating a
FormCalc error. In Table E; your milage rate calculation uses a value of
Cell3 which is not defined. Looks like that table needs a little more
work.Otherwise the form should flow as requested. The corrected form ...
Difficult to say without seeing the form, but....The first place I would
look is in the object tab of the form/table that is set to expand to the
next page. Click on the Pagination Tab and make sure that Place is
indicated as "Following Previous" and that After is indicated as
"Continue Filling Parent." If After is "Go to Next Page," that is your
problem.
I have a complex form that requires a signature box. As the form may
require multiple signatures, I structured a small table (4 rows); now I
need to repeat those rows using the instance manager. The four row are
in a section, so it is the section that I need to repeat.I am using:
Table1.Section1.addInstance(1);But this does not work. Any help would be
appreciated.
Depending on the complexity of your form, different approaches may be
needed, but the simple way to clear a form is to use the reset
statement.In JavaScript, use:xfa.host.resetData("object name");will
clear any data in that object. The object can be an entire form, page,
or individual object on the form.You can use that a button (click event)
or on other events, depending on what you want to do with your form.
