Hi,

I'm using Adobe LiveCycle Designer 8.0.1:

I've created a system DSN connection and used OLEDB / ODBC drivers to create my data connection:

When I go to preview PDF, or publish the PDF to static Adobe 7 it only shows the first record in my table and if I try to click on the drop down my system just gives the "you screwed up" bell. Any thoughts as to what I should do next?

My Product Information:
LiveCycle Designer, Windows

Did you use the "Data DropDown" in the "Custom" library tab? Did you fill out the parameters correctly in the "Initialize" script. Do not bind this component to elements in the database.

I do not have anything in the initialize script. I'm still pretty new at scripting period, what is supposed to go there? Is there a guide I should follow for figuring this out?

The Data Drop Down from the Custom Libarary tab already has an Initialize script. To make this control work you have to fill in some information in the script.
