Hi all,
I'm trying out Livecycle, which seems pretty neat so far. I have created a form with data binding to my SQL Server database via DSN. Text boxes seem to work fine, but I cannot get the drop down boxes to work, I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
Steps I have done:
1) Create the DSN, add the data connection. I know this is working because text boxes that point to a table show the value.
2) Drop a drop down box, then click on List Items (Object/Field tab).
3) Select data connection dsOrigination
4) Item Text: Source
5) Item Value: sourceID
6) Save the file as PDF on my desktop
7) Double click the PDF on my desktop. Navigate to the drop down box but it doesn't display any value for me to select.
What I have done:
1) File/Form Properties/Preview:
a) Preview Type: Interactive Form
b) Preview Adobe XML Form as: Dynamic XML form
2) Tools/Options/Data Binding
a) Show dynamic properties is checked
What the heck am I doing wrong? I really want to proof this so I can get my boss to buy it me. It will save a boat load of time of filling in forms rather then creating webpages but right now I cannot show him the neat form I've created cause I can't get the drop down to work.
Thanks in advance!
Cheers
Vincent
