Getting the form to flow correctly ;>(

Aug 24, 2011 10:18 AM

Good Day all;

 

Have a wee bit of a problem with the flow of a form. Here is what I have;

 

Single page for reporting on projects. On the following dropdowns, cost, resources, time, and scope the use selects if they status is green, yellow or red. If the user selects anything other than green, a hidden textbox opens for an explanation. This is set of each dropdown.

The user also has the ability to report on more that one project. To do so, they would click on a button at the bottom.

Also when the user clicks on the button to report on a new project, the form is added to a new page.

This is my problem. When I select pagination – go to next content area or go to next page, the form automatically moves everything below the subform to the second page.

 

Hierarchy

Untitled_subform (page1)

Header_subform

            |           Table1

P_status_subform

            Table2

            Cost_subform

                        Table3

            Resource_subform

                        Table4

            Time_subform

                        Table5

            Scope_subfom

                        Table6

n_project

            Table7

                        Button

 

What I would like to have happen is, if the user wants to add a project the new p_status_subform moves to a new page and the n_project_subform moves below.

I hope I have explained this right

 

Thanks all

    I may have not understood your issue right...however I would try this....

     

    I would have two copies of the repating subform however first insatance would be set to not to repeate but always prints....the second instance would repeate however set the Min to 0 and associtate the button to instanciate the second instance each time it is clicked. Then set the repeating subform to launch on the Next page with each apperiance in the pagination as you already set.

     

    Hope that helps if not email me copy of your form with more details at n_varma(AT)lycos.com

     

    Good luck,

    Those are simple instructions....I would copy from the existing subform and rename it to some thing and update the code accordingly. Also I am guessing with your current form settings the copy will just follow the existing subform then when you update Pagination settings to "Top of Next Page" the subform automatically positions it self to new page. I would first explore little bit before I come up with such questions.

    Sorry for the misunderstanding...

    I guess you need to have following settings....

     

    Header>>>>Non repeating: automatically prints one time on the first page

    Subform1>>>>Non repeating: automatically prints one time on the first page

    Copy of Subform1>>>repeating: min=0, initial = 0, max: unchecked, always print on Top of next page

    Footer that has the Button>>>Non repeating: always prints at the end of the form

     

    Hope this helps...if I did not get your question right shoot me an email with copy of your form at n_varma(AT)lycos.com

     

    Good luck,
