Custom Forms with JetForm

[Chris Kelleher]

Has anyone had any success with custom forms & JetForm? I've developed a
form and am using Progress to generate a field nominated data file, but
can't get it to print.

The error file shows the following:

[3016]Error, unable to obtain document properties.

Any suggestions? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place, but I can't seem
to find much documentation on using field nominated data. And I can't find
any information regarding error messages.

If all else fails, give Mike Pastore a call at Symix. he is the
"expert" on Jetforms and field nominated designs.

I have had very little success of any kind with JetForms - right from the
start where the "vanilla" forms came compiled using a font that doesn't work
with HP printers. Go figure. I have the greatest respect for *anyone* who
manages to get JetForm to behave the way they want it to. The latest issue
for me is Jetform producing an error message that says the "Network name was
deleted", requiring someone to go to the server and click "OK" - at which
point the form prints normally.(?)

I promise not to rant anymore. Good luck with your form.
