Hello,
I am connecting my form via ODBC to an MS Access database with FormCalc XFA. I know that's not ideal, but it works. I am stuck however on how to handle errors when the form is not able to return a record due to a bad search string.
Typically I am expecting one unique record to be returned, however at times there is no match based upon what the user has entered into the search field. I am trying to 'catch' the error and give them a custom message I write, or no error at all.
My Data Connection name is: EstabSearchResults
My search field name is: EstabSearchField
Here is what is run on the On Exit event when the user leaves the EstabSearchField:
var oDC = Ref($sourceSet.EstabSearchResults.clone(1))
oDC.#command.query.commandType = "text"
oDC.#command.query.select = concat("SELECT Blah, BLah2, Foo, Bar FROM TableName WHERE (Something LIKE '",EstabSearchField.rawValue,"');")
oDC.open()
oDC.first()
If there's now records however, I get: [A whole bunch of Adobe gibberish that makes sense to end-users] Error: No records in datasource.
I'm having a difficult time coming up with a way to handle it when there is no records and perform addition customized logic if that happens.
Any ideas?
Thanks!
-Mike
