Sorry, meant LC.I have to exec some complex code at both prePrint and preSave events (maybe also others) and am looking for a way to only write it once then execute it when I need it. A custom (global?) function may be one answer but I don't know how to create it.Is there some other way?Thanks

Thanks Gil,I'm looking for a description of how to create a custom function within LS then call it from various events.The pointer you sent has lots of info but I don't seem to be able to find what I'm seeking.I'm not sure what I want to do can even be done within LS, do you know?Thanks again Bill

I'm trying to find good documentation about how to build a custom function with Javascript in my LS-created form.Would someone please point me in the right direction?Thanks!

I have this requirement, and so it seems to others on the LS forums.I have no server and need to distribute information to Adobe Reader users of a form. The information benefits from some manipulation (sorting), and may be updated frequently. One easy way to maintain the data is using XL. When the d...

As best I can tell there is no option to have a list/dropdown accept multiple selections by default.One way to accomplish your goal would be to capture each selection using a validate or exit event script, then populating another text field or multiple text fields with the list of selections delimit...

One way to do this would be to only add items to the 2nd dropdown list after (and depending upon) the selection from the 1st dropdown list. Using Javascript to find the selected item (selectedIndex) then using addItem to only populate the 2nd dropdown with the items you want to appear there for sele...

Paul, thanks as always for your assistance. Seems like I can't be the only one needing this sort of 'standalone' data access. Can you advise an alternative strategy allowing the data and the form to be maintained individually? Tthanks again

I have been trying to figure out just what RE does but my small brain doesn't seem up to it. Here is my situation:I have no server. I have a form created using LS that is distributed to 50 end-users using Acrobat Reader. These users will fill in the form, save it, possibly print it, and email the fi...

I have a repeating subform with a trailing subform that appears at the bottom of each page. I only need the trailer to appear on page 1 but I can't seem to find the page number property to use in a script. I'm also not sure the trailing subform property is settable using Javascript.Any advice is wel...

As it turns out in my case the validate event is perfect. I need to perform actions depending on the user either entering data or selecting from the drop-down list.Testing the selectedIndex to be greater than -1 tells me if a selection was made or not. It allows me to skip the first validate call an...
