Re: Getting importTextData to work... - Adobe LiveCycle 29-01-2010
I originally used XML but I don't want the end user to have to "import" an xml manually. I also don't want to have to set up any kind of ODBC in order to access excel or some other db.My goal is to create a fixed dropdown list that controls what gets loaded into my form. I'll have various text files (same format) that contain different data and depending on which item they pick from the drop down the form will be populated with the associated list.Using a tabbed delimited file makes it easier fo...

Getting importTextData to work... - Adobe LiveCycle 29-01-2010
Trying to get the importTextData routine to work has been very frustrating to say the least.Previously I found my problem to be the header row in the text file was not formatted properly. ie. rather than have "task" as the column header it had to be frmProgressCard[0].frmTasks[0].tblTasks[0].rowTask[0].task[0]That theory does not work any longer.I save all the work in LiveCycle as an Adobe Dynamic XML Form and then open it in Acrobat Pro to test, but still will not load my data. Returns with "in...

I replaced it with a new (see attached).Previously I found my problem to be the header row in the text file was not formatted properly. ie. rather than have "task" as the column header it had to be frmProgressCard[0].frmTasks[0].tblTasks[0].rowTask[0].task[0]That does not work any longer.I save all the work in LiveCycle as Adobe Dynamic XML Form and then open it in Acrobat Pro to test, but still will not load my data.

Using importTextData to load text files - Adobe LiveCycle 25-01-2010
I have been having a real issue trying to load data from text files (tab delimited text file) into my form.It works fine if I use importTextData() with no parameters and it prompts for the file name, then the row, but if I try and pass the path and row it comes back with a -2 result "User Cancelled Row Select".My path is formatted as so: "/C/temp/importfile.txt"It has to do with the path somehow... otherwise my file would not load properly when browsed.And before people let me know I can import ...

Re: Import data from text file - Adobe LiveCycle 22-01-2010
Thanks that really helps. I was stumped on this for 3 days!Now my next problem still with importTextData is that when I supply the path and row, it returns a resuls of -2 (User Cancelled Row Select).Is there anything different I need to do when indicating the path?My call looks like:var cPath = "/C/temp/importfile.txt";var row = 1;var Result = oDoc.importTextData(cPath, row);Any help anyone can offer is much appreciated!Paul
