Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 28-09-2011
Maybe it's because I'm replying by email, so I'll try the forums directly; Click to delete the current record fromthe database Decam_ Done 8.2.1.3144.1.471865.466429

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 28-09-2011
I’m no expert on scripting, but this passage seems to relate to specifically deleting that field. As you follow the script down the page you get the script for each of the buttons, they sizes, colour and what they do etc, first, last, add new, update and delete, each button follows systematically down the script, then after that is the bit I pasted, which is the only field referred to in that way, the “Decam_Done” field, but maybe I’m wrong, but clearly this field is causing some issue.

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 28-09-2011
No, that’s all good, checked and no binding icon on that database connection, However I’ve been looking through the xml souce page for the form as a whole and found this;Which is odd as no other field is specifically mentioned to delete, it doesn’t make sense as to why this bit is in there, what do you think?

It’s not, it binds to the XML sample connection, as do the others, any ideas?

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 28-09-2011
Thanks PaulI’m sure I’m nearly there, this is the latest error message I get;“Error unable to create SOM expression $record.EquiptechsDB.Decam_Done”Where EquiptechsDB is the name of the DB connection and Decam_Done is one of the fields.I get this message every time I try to update to the DB after importing the XML file onto the form. This field is a “text drop-down” on the DB and on the form, I have a couple of other drop=downs as well.How do I write an SQL statement to write the data to the DB,...

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 27-09-2011
Thanks PaulChecked the xml on xml editor and data is there. So, I’ve done that and set up a new data connection and dropped them into the relevant fields. I’ve then saved it, opened it up again and it’s collected the xml data successfully, but how do it now get it into the database, as the fields are now bound to the xml and not the database, so the buttons don’t work now to “add new” and “update”. Sorry for being a novice at this.

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 26-09-2011
Hi PaulThe binding on my DB connected form is set to {$record.EquiptechsDB.Last_Name}, but that is in the “default Binding” box, I’ve just noticed that there is another binding box that has “Import/Export bindings (Execute)”, and that is blank.

Re: Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 26-09-2011
Hi PaulThe data does not appear in the fields when I try to import the XML file. I click add new on the DB connected form, use the “manage form data”> “import data” from the forms drop down on the menu bar, I find the appropriate XML file, click it and nothing appears in the fields. I’ve checked the DB connected form and typed in records using the “add New” button and then “update” and the record is successfully imported into the database. It seems to be an issue between the user form, which cre...

Can't import XML data into my databse-connected PDF form - Adobe LiveCycle 25-09-2011
Hi AllExcellent forum, and thanks for all the revealing insights so far viewed, however one question.I'm using a PDF form to collect info via email in the format of XML datafiles. I also have an identical PDF which has database connectivity and that works fine. It was suggested on this forum that I could then import the XML data into my Database via the DB-connected PDF, in effect a user form and one with DB connectivity. Now, I've checked the data types and they all match, but when I import XML...
