In this table I have a drop down menu. What I would like to accomplish is that if a specific value is select from the drop down menu that another cell in the row become mandatory. I would like to accomplish this prior to them adding a new row. Is this possible to do? If so, how is it done?

This field should auto update when I add/delete a row. So first column of row 1 should Say "1", row 2 should say "2", etc. How do I do this short of manually requiring the user to type in the row number himself? smithd on "Tables using row data" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/tables-using-row-data#post-1141 Wed, 17 Feb 2010 14:59:26 +0000 smithd 1141@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ How do I access the field data in a table row in other places of the form or update a database with it. I have a table that has 2 fields (account number and percent). I want to let users to enter as many records as they need. Then I want to reference the account number and percent in other parts of the form and finally be able to upload it to records in a database. cduxler@directtechnology.com on "Drop Down in a Table Populate with Connector" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/drop-down-in-a-table-populate-with-connector#post-330 Tue, 21 Apr 2009 23:09:51 +0000 cduxler@directtechnology.com 330@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ Hey Folks, Is it possible to populate a drop down list in a table from another form? Here is what I have done: I have created some lookup data in a form and a connector. Testing the connectors 'read' method returns the data I want. following these instructions, <a href="http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/populate-listdrop-down-objects#post-53," rel="nofollow">http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/populate-listdrop-down-objects#post-53,</a> I can bind the connector to a stand alone drop down list and the values appear as expected. The problem I am finding is that when I try to use those same steps to bind to the drop down in the table, in the TARGET list for the connector I do not see the table's column objects as an option to bind to, only the table itself. How do I access the drop down list in the column. I am binding on the tables 'Row Create' event at this time.

I want to create another form that will pull back all of the rows from the tables of multiple form instances, allow the user to update those values, and then commit those changes to the individual form instances. Is it possible to update individual values in the rows of a table using a form connection?

When the date range is entered, a behavior automatically determines the number of work hours in that date range (number of weekdays, multiplied by eight) and populates a third column, "Hours". The "Hours" column is intended to be editable; that is, the user may make changes to the value in this column. We have found that when making changes to this value, the changes are not always committed. Sometimes the value of the "Hours" column will revert to the previous value, sometimes the value will go blank, and sometimes it will work. In our testing we cannot determine a scenario where it will always fail, or always work. That said, it seems to work most of the time when clicking in another field, and it usually fails when clicking into a blank space on the form. Having more than six rows increases the likelihood that the change will not be committed. Any ideas as to why this might be happening? There are behaviors triggered by the value in this column changing.

It needs to function like a radio button - only one selection allowed. Radio button is not an option for column type. The closest thing functionally is a "button" - but I would need to change the button image to make it look like a checkbox or radio button. I can't find where to do that. Alernatively, is there a way to make the checkbox behave like a radio button (only one selection)? I need a workaround ASAP... I was hoping 1.12 would solve it but no luck. Thanks.

However, in the email it generally ends up looking like this: {Proof URLs - Proof URL - All rows~} when I insert it has a field. I tried building the text string on row loses focus as suggested in another topic on this particular forum, however, there is the problem of deletions and edits. With a couple of edits, it's not surprising to have 3 or 4 copies of the same URL because it's added every time focus is lost. (An implode rows function might be handy, but does not appear to exist.) jkraemer on "Can drop down menus be placed inside of table cells?" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/can-drop-down-menus-be-placed-inside-of-table-cells#post-149 Mon, 26 Jan 2009 04:01:22 +0000 jkraemer 149@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ Is there a way to place drop down menus within the cells of the tables? ijobling on "To Notify to users email addresses collected in a table object" http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/topic/to-notify-to-users-email-addresses-collected-in-a-table-object#post-73 Fri, 28 Nov 2008 12:00:50 +0000 ijobling 73@http://www.perfectforms.com/forums/ The notify 'to email field = table field all rows' does not yet support this. but set up a (hidden) text field (set the character limit accordingly) and then on the table object 'row looses focus' run a set field script to write to this text field..

No, as you create the table, the fields are set by default to 'Text', simply go to the properties of the table and change the columns to reflect the field type you wish to use
