I have Crystal reports, and I'd like to modify a field to be a hyperlink, depending on another field. But the other field may or may not have data. How do I define the field?
Fields: IDNumber, LinkField
If LinkField is not NULL, show IDNumber as its own value, with a underline and hyperlink set to LinkField.
If LinkField is NULL, then just show IDNumber as itself, with no hyperlink.
So, if the report had three IDNumbers, and only the second had a hyperlink, starting with data (3455, NULL; 4933, http://nothing; 4939, NULL)
It would look something like the following:
3455
4933
4939
I could make a field that had a value and another field with the hyperlink. The hyperlink field was suppressed but on top of the field with the value. That worked from within Crystal Developer, but not when it was moved to our server.
Since I was short of space, I tried displaying just part of the link. That worked both in development and on the server, but I was ultimately wishing to print the files to PDF and maintain the links. The links in the PDF only worked if they showed entirely.
I eventually had to show the entire link in the report, giving it a separate line (to make room). (I also tried printing it in 1 point font, which did make it look like an underline, but that was hard to click on and also still overwrote fields.)

Objective:
This is data driven approach. I am trying to get data from sheet to be entered in table in a web application. Now in the table there are fields as below:
Textfield (To enter name), Datatype drop-down (To select data type), Length field(to enter the length), Status field (Isactive or not)
Now here there is a dynamic logic as for only “String” datatype the “Length” field would appear else in default table “Length” field/column is not shown because for other data types there is static length value provided.
Now when automating I am getting data in sequence from sheet and setting that in table. Switching over the fields is done by using “Tab” mechanism.
Issue:
The only issue in this whole process is that while selecting “String” data-type from drop-down and after that tab is applied. At this point the “Length” field is supposed to appear for which data can be entered from the sheet but here at only tabbing/loosing focus from one field to another is not revealing the hidden “Length” field.
And at this point automation gets stuck up. Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when same is done manually using tab, the “Length” field does not show up.
It would be of really great help if anyone can please suggest on above issue.
Hoping to hear soon from someone. Thanks for your efforts in advance.
Manually selecting the drop-down shows the “Length” field but when

Seems selenium isn't setting focus to the same object/element that you are. How are you using selenium to tab between fields? Do you have to tab to this element, or can you have selenium select it directly? Also, it would help us if you shared the selenium code and html.
I currently have a MS Access database of members.
I have a form that has a combo box which is populated with just the first and last names of members. (using a test database for now)
What im struggling with is how do i create a button that opens another form i have created but using the selection in the dropdown box to populate the fields in the newly opened form.
When a user from the dropdown box is selected an open is clicked i want it to open the profile form populated with their details.
pictures and access files can be found on my ftp server:
ftp://ftp.legends-gym.co.uk
User: ftpuser#legends-gym.co.uk
Pass: ftpuser

I can't access ftp site from work so can't see what you've got thus far however, the key bits you want to look at here are:
Add a button to the form and the On Click Event to open your profile form. Something along the lines of docmd.openform "frmProfile", acNormal
You need something to pass the member you've selected in the combo box to the profile form. One way might be to use OpenArgs so have a look at that
You then could use the passed variable in OpenArgs to select the data you want to fill out your profile form.
EDIT...
OK, I've had a look at the file now. Here is what you need to do to fix your problems (and a couple of extra bits which aren't causing an issue but will improve the look and feel).
On the Format of the Home form and the Member Search form, set Navigation Buttons and Record Selector to false. - This removes the unnecessary elements for a "single" form, you're not looking at records.
On the member search form, remove the binding to the members table. - You don't need to bind this form, as the recordsource of the combo is pulling the data required separately. if you look at your form before you change it, you'll notice you've got 1 of 10 records...
Also, remove the filter criteria and set filter on load to No - You were filtering the wrong form.
On the combo box, remove the after update event. - I'm not sure what that was trying to do but its completely unnecessary.
On the command button, add an onclick event which has the following code DoCmd.OpenForm "Profile", acNormal, , "ID = " & Me.Combo361 & ""
Save everything and enjoy. :)
You weren't far wrong with the filter, but it's actually a WHERE clause when opening another form - sorry, my bad misdirection. What you were doing was filtering the original form - ie the member search form. Also, you don't need to put ' quotes around the ID, it's a number not a string.
If you have problems I can probably host this fixed version somewhere for you to download.
I am using Drupal 7. I have created a content type IMAGE with keywords, caption, headline, category populated by EXIF and I also autogenerate the label. All I have to do is select a local image and hit save and everything I need is populated from the image metadata - all good so far.
The only problem is that I cannot edit the EXIF populated fields. If I want to move an image from one category (taxonomy) to another or notice a typo in the caption the only way I can make corrections is to delete the image, correct the text locally and reupload the image - when I select EDIT having found the content the default edit page does not show the field populated by EXIF. If I change them on the content type to a text or taxonomy field I can edit them, but I can't do that each time I want to edit a field.
I have searched but found nothing to help. Alternatively I have considered duplicating the EXIF populated fields on the IMAGE content type amd populating them using tokens from the EXIF populated fields and using those to drive my display views etc. I should then be able to edit them but it is not a very elegant solutions. I am not sure that will work after initially trying it.
I also have an issue that I need a multi-valued field other than keywords that I can use for the category/gallery (and there isn't one in the standard it seems). That will probably be a separate question when I have solved the editing problem.
I also tried using EditableViews modules which looked promising but it would still not let me edit the fields although it did display them.
How to display the content of memo fields with select command?
If I have a table (vendors) with the following fields: id_vendor C(10),address M and I want to display all the content with "select * from vendors" I receive only the type of field but not the content.
If you are viewing the results in a browse window (which is what executing the SQL will show), then ctrl+pgdown in the field (where it is showing "Memo") will display the entire contents in a new window.
The SQL did retrieve the entire contents, which can be confirmed by in the command windows entering
? [fieldname]
And you will see the contents that way also.
Which language are you using or what it your output audience... if within VFP, use an EDIT field to allow for multiple row content to be shown. In a simple "text box" field, it will only show "memo" as you indicate. Otherwise, as Swordblaster indicated ctrl+pgdown or even double-clicking SHOULD open it, but that would throw up an uncontrolled "window" for you vs a controlled "edit box" control which you can specifically place in your window as needed.
Double click Memo and the contents are displayed in a new window.
For some weird reason i can not run my report, when i try to preview i get this error:
Here is how my tablix property looks like:
Any idea what to do? The current .rdl was copied from another one. I changed the newly copied .rdl values to match my needs. I always do that and works perfect, instead of creating the design from scratch every single time.
Just right click on your table => tablix properties=> and set dataset name you want from dropdown and then execute.
Looking at your pictures, in the picture up top the error mentions 'Tablix1' is invalid. The 2nd Screenshot, the name of the Tablix is 'Tablix2'. Try changing the name back to 'Tablix1', or using the Properties section see if you can select Tablix1 in the drop down, and possibly delete it.
You have an empty tablix in your report that is not associated with a data set. This will throw that error. Delete any tablix that does not contain data.
