Re: [RBASE-L] - PDF form generation problems

 No, I can't use a form.  The staff don't have access to the database.  They 
used to get the reports on paper and they filled in the new dates for each 
client by hand.   Since Covid, we have to make them PDFs and email them the 
PDF.  They are supposed to be able to fill in the dates and email it back to 
our data-entry people.

  Create a form that you could use to update each text field in the table.

  

 In your report create variable 

Now in your variables add vTxtField = columnName in report table and make sure 
it is calulcated in detail section

There is only one PDF text field per row in the table.  How would I give it a 
different name for each row in the table?

Patti,

It looks like the fields have the fieldsame name.

For instance if a field has the name: Cliuentname and you fill it with the name 
Smith als the fields with the fieldname Clientname will be filled with Smith

  How is the variable being populated. Look up from another table, column in 
report table.

 

  If it is being looked up in another table make sure it is being done in the 
detail section.

Hello all,

 

We are having a hard time editing PDF reports that were geneated by Rbase.  I 
have a PDF Text Field and a bunch of PDF check box fields.

 

When we type a date in the text field, it duplicates itself across all the rows 
in the report.  The check boxes work just fine.  But my text fields all 
duplicate.  I sent a snip of the report, cutting off the client names.  

 

We sometimes were able to open the reports in Word and got them to work that 
way, some of the reports (like this one) get completely scrambled by Word.   We 
tried opening using Adobe, edge Browser, Chrome browser, Firefox browser and 
Word.

 

Any suggestions to get to be able to use this as write-able document?

 

Thanks, Patti

Tom,

As long as you are not embedding those forms as 
"Additional Resources" into a compiled (.exe) 
application, you can simply update the external 
forms in the compiled application folder along 
with all required CFG and engine DLLs.


In that scenario, you don't need to re-compile 
the application anytime you make a change to a 
form, report, or external files as long as they are not embedded.


Very Best R:egards,

Razzak

RE: [RBASE-L] - External forms

2020-10-28 Thread Dan Goldberg 
I have my rffs(external forms), database files, rbengine.dll and cfg files  in 
the same folder as my startup app. My startup calls the external form files. 
That way if I change an external form file I can just replace it and do not 
have to recompile. The users do not have to be out that way as well.

The only time I recompile the startup app is when there is an rbase update.
