Exchanging data on Forms

[Kim Sargent]

Das are you actually using 7 different remote form? Have you thought of using one form with several page panes?  Then you are not worried about data from one form to another

Subject: Exchanging data on Forms

Hello Everyone,

I’m trying to do what I think is a simple thing.. 

I have forms, seven of them, that follow one after the other during a data entry process.. I have seven because you can only fit a few fields on a small phone.. so they input data on each form.. to get to the point of having all the necessary data filled in. 

Since forms only handle their own instance variables you have to move the data to some place else if you want to work with all the data put in on all the seven forms.. you have to move it to task variables or some place.. since the code I will run to do something with the data is code that uses File Format Fields to do the calculation, I chose putting the data in-between forms into the CRB.. into my File Format Fields that will be used..

So I have forms.. and sitting below them is the CRB receiving the data.. I just use Calculate FIELD as VARIABLE.. and I tested on Form 1 and the data went into the CRB fields.. yes it did.. as it should I believe.. 

But it disappears.. the last of the 7 forms summarizes your input and shows it to you.. to check your input.. and nothing is in those fields.. and for those fields I’m just doing Calculate variable as field.. it should work.. it’s the reverse of what I tested that works.. 

My question is “You should be able to move data from forms to the CRB correct?”  And back again.. from CRB to forms.. 

But I’m getting blanks.. the data doesn’t seem to be there.

Any ideas?

Das
