Bonus TIPS for Successful Posting

Try a Search First
It is highly recommended that a Search be done on your topic before posting, as many questions have been answered in prior posts. As with any search engine, the shorter the search term, the more "hits" will be returned, but the more specific the search term is, the greater the relevance of those "hits". Searching for "table" might well return every message on the board while "tablesum" would greatly restrict the number of messages returned.

When you do post
First, make sure you are posting your question in the correct forum. For example, if you post an issue regarding Desktop applications on the Mobile & Browser Applications board , not only will your question not be seen by the appropriate audience, it may also be removed or relocated.

The more detail you provide about your problem or question, the more likely someone is to understand your request and be able to help. A sample database with a minimum of records (and its support files, zipped together) will make it much easier to diagnose issues with your application. Screen shots of error messages are especially helpful.

When explaining how to reproduce your problem, please be as detailed as possible. Describe every step, click-by-click and keypress-by-keypress. Otherwise when others try to duplicate your problem, they may do something slightly different and end up with different results.

A note about attachments
You may only attach one file to each message. Attachment file size is limited to 2MB. If you need to include several files, you may do so by zipping them into a single archive.

If you forgot to attach your files to your post, please do NOT create a new thread. Instead, reply to your original message and attach the file there.

When attaching screen shots, it is best to attach an image file (.BMP, .JPG, .GIF, .PNG, etc.) or a zip file of several images, as opposed to a Word document containing the screen shots. Because Word documents are prone to viruses, many message board users will not open your Word file, therefore limiting their ability to help you.

Similarly, if you are uploading a zipped archive, you should simply create a .ZIP file and not a self-extracting .EXE as many users will not run your EXE file.

    Since Alpha does not have this on its schedule of things to do now, I'm having it custom written and should be completed in about a month.

              Close ... for my purposes I have a UX with an absolute container, controls, and a background image. The purpose of which is to mimic a form a user fills out (like a tax 1040 form or a medical form). I need that absolute container to print (and scale itself) on to a regular 8.5/11 paper size and print.

                    Re: Printing a form of a dialog component

                    I do this, I believe, the same way that Ghandi shows in his video.

                    What I do is create a report with the information you want in your printed record.
                    Then on the Print button in a UX component, just use the Action Javascript Action "Open a Report, Label or Letter Layout" to open the report as a pdf.
                    You can use various methods to show/hide the print button as needed. I have "id > 0" in the button's enable expression property.

                          I have version 12, my requirement exactly same what is show in http://screencast.com/t/BXG5tpc7.
                          It will be great help if you can explain how the ID no is assigned when submit is clicked.

                              I have SQL add the number and then I have the form bring it back and put it in edit mode. That way I can have all the various grids or associations based of the key.
                              Check out the video. This is only possible in version 12.
