I note that I can populate it during form design as it appears in the add predifined list. I am trying to avoid changing form design everytime the predifined list changes.

Don't worry, you will get it back. That's right, if you know that a field is associated with a behavior(s) but do not know which one, delete the field. You will be given a warning message that will list the behaviors associated. This is when you hope that you have properly named your behaviors! Once you have written down the behaviors for reference, click OK, then go to Edit - Undo delete. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/what-are-the-units-for-the-date-difference-function#post-115 Thu, 18 Dec 2008 16:25:04 +0000 rgatson 115@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>The units for the date difference function are as follows:</p> <p>y - years<br /> l - months<br /> w - weeks<br /> d - days<br /> wd - working days<br /> h - hours<br /> m - minutes<br /> s - seconds</p> <p>If you have two date fields, or two time fields, you can use the Date Difference function to return the difference based on the value of the units. So, for example, if you had a start and end (time/date), To calculate the difference using the Date Difference function, you would enter the End (date/time) as the first value, the Start (date/time) as the second value, and the corresponding unit in which you wish to calculate the results in. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/page-is-opened-behaviour-not-working#post-1890 Tue, 04 Jan 2011 13:48:36 +0000 Peanuts890 1890@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I have two page holiday application form (originally designed for 2010) which has basic employee information on page 1 and a history of holidays on page 2.

This very frustrating when you have a neat behaviour layout, you move the position of one item and it appears to just go to a random place taking its links with it. You try to put it back to where it was and it goes somewhere else. Having do one change, save thew design in case they and then do the next change.

I have added a behavior to "Group changes field data" for the Radio Button Group. This behavior uses a Multiple Branch to check which radio button is selected and then set another object on the page to a corresponding value, using the a Set Field command. This works fine.</p> <p>Because all the pages in the form are to be the same (with just some text changes), I set up the first page (Page 1) so it works perfectly, then created a new page and copied all the objects from Page 1 to the new page (Page 2), using the Edit menu on the Layout designer. This also copies the Behaviors for the objects.</p> <p>This all works great, EXCEPT that the copied behaviors on Page 2 still reference the objects on Page 1. That is, the Multiple Branch condition still references the Radio Buttons on Page 1 and the Set Field command still references the object on Page 1.</p> <p>I expected that when an object is Pasted to a new page, and the object's behaviors are also pasted, that the resulting behavior would reference the new objects on the new page. It seems strange that it doesn't work this way.</p> <p>Is this a bug or am I missing something? All help greatly appreciated.</p> <p>Thanks,<br /> Steph </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/date-difference-function-error#post-1050 Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:10:09 +0000 MABrown 1050@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>I have identified an issue with the PerfectForms Date Difference function.

Instead of only "OK or Cancel" or "Yes or No" options, how about a "Yes, No, or Cancel" option?</p> <p>This would be useful in my current form, which prompts a user on close. After a user clicks close, if they have un-submitted changes, a message asks the user if they would like to submit the changes. Right now, they can click Yes or No. If yes, the changes are submitted and the form is closed. If no, the changes are not submitted, and the form is closed. If there were a cancel option, the user can click cancel and prevent the form from closing.</p> <p>I can think of several workarounds (such as, if the user clicks no, have a second message ask if they would still like to close the form), but I think having a cancel button would be a cleaner way to achieve the objective. </p> http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/search-multible-forms#post-1412 Mon, 10 May 2010 15:13:28 +0000 schaferdg@yahoo.com 1412@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ <p>Is there a way to search multible forms in a report?<br /> ie.
