2 quick questions

1. I have a drop down list that I need to populate. I have over 700 entries. is there a quick way to do this besides typing each in. This list will have to have ability to have new entries added to it from remote sites.

2. Can anyone recommend a good site that has a lot of good scripting examples. Subscription site is fine. There will be more designers coming online working with Adobe and LiveCycle and this may help us out.

thank you.

John

Here is a good starting place. The 2nd item has a Samples link, and on that page, there is a tab called Sample which contain alot of sample Livecycle code.

You might like this which was created by lori if you have a MS Access lying around.

"Lori's Corner

Read this tip to learn how to use LiveCycle Designer to write data to and retrieve information from databases.

That would help teach you how to populate a field with many entries using a ms access database.

Less typing me thinks you might be able to find a way to reverse engineer that to what you want.

Just throwing out ideas.. :D
