Hi all,I've finished creating my form now, but I came across this whilst writing up my documentation for maintenance tasks.This occurs when adding new values to a drop-down list that has the "Specify item values" checkbox in the binding tab checked.When I then try to sort my list using the built in ...

Hi all, I'm having a problem with a drop-down list. I can get the information I want in Reader 9, but we only have Reader 7.0.5 distributed at the moment. I need to pull out its text value and its specified value, but everything I try just pulls out the specified value. In Reader 9 formattedValue gi...

OK, just had a play around.Make sure it is set the same in the edit tab.I have mine set in Display, Edit and Validation and it is working fine. But when it was in Display and Validation it was adding on the extra digit when I was inside the field (disappeared when I left.)I have no idea about the 3d...

I would say that the pattern the field is using is wrong.If all numbers must be 14 digits, followed by a decimal point and then another 2 digits the pattern should be:num{99999999999999.99}If it can be a maximum of 14 usenum{zzzzzzzzzzzzz9.99}9 forces there to be a character, so you will get 0000000...

Thank you Paul!Legend as always. Not going to go back through my form though, deadline is up and I've had to fix it with scripting objects 😞Tom

Steve,By wrapping the execute in an if statement you can tell if it managed to execute correctly or failed.if (this.parent.parent.execValidate()) {this.parent.parent.presence = "hidden";Question2.presence = "visible";xfa.host.setFocus("Header.FocusField");}Will only move on to the next question if t...

B.I.N.G.O.var correctEntry = false;for (var i = 0; i < this.length; i++) {if (this.getItemState(i) == 1 ) {correctEntry = true;}}if (correctEntry == false) {xfa.host.messageBox ("This entry does not match an item: " + this.rawValue);xfa.host.setFocus ("this");}Hope this can be of help to someone els...
