I have a procedure I want a form to do every time the user enters any field.  There are a lot of fields, and the code is moderately long, so I'd prefer to not repeat the code in every enter event for every field.  Is there a way to define a function or a script that I can call?This will not only red...

I need to come up with a way to enforce a pattern that I cannot enforce through the normal pattern specification.I have a field that needs to be two numerical characters.  If only one numerical character is entered, then it needs to make it two characters, with the first leading character being zero...

Actually, it is working ok.  It had been failing on one of the first fields (which was one of the few that we had made protected).  We thought it was because we changed it to protected, but it looks like this file got corrupted somehow.  I reverted to an earlier version, updated with the lost change...

I implemented this fix, and it worked great in the form.  Unfortunately, today we tried our back-end server program (which had largely been validated already and was good to go) and found that it could no longer parse data from the "protected" fields.  Does protecting those fields make them non-pars...

One related question...One of my fields is a numeric prefix that relates to a fiscal year designation.  Some of those are 00, 01, 02, etc., so I need to be able to specify a pattern that will insert the leading zero if someone were to type just one numeric digit.  For instance, if they typed just "1...

I want to limit a number field to two digits.I can do that by sizing the text field and checking "limit length to visible area" in the field properties.Alternatively, I can set a pattern num{99}.  However, if I do this, then if someone enters an alpha character, it converts it into a zero!  This is ...

In one portion of a form I'm designing, the user is supposed to enter several numbers in a table, and at the bottom two numbers are automatically calculated for them.I explain in the instructions for the form that some fields are automatically calculated, but I actually do not have room in the actua...

Sorry, I found discussions that address this.  Many discussions are about this subject, but do not actually answer the problem, so I'll summarize the various guidance from the helpful discussions that I found here:= = = = = = =Basic Setup (borrowed from someone else, but I can't remember who)= = = =...

If I understand the Designer 8.0 help files, they indicate that you can specify a subform that is already part of your original page to be an overflow header to appear on subsequent pages for a flowed object.  The help file gives the example that you could repeat the heading row of a table on subseq...

I'm designing a form, and need what seems like a simple thing:  a text field that is not limited by size, and that will not simply turn into a scrollable field when the text exceeds its original size.  Rather, when applicants enter text that exceeds the original size of the field, I want the field t...
