SharePoint Form Generator
Sandra Humphreys replied to Alon Havivi at Wednesday, October 07, 2009 1:29 AM
Hi Alon - thanks for this download.  My list has a number of numerical columns in it, and I have found that for some reason the form builder is defaulting with a 1,234.56 in each of these columns.  I am an administrator, without code knowledge - would you be able to provide me with a simple solution to remove this figure?

Alon Havivi replied to Sandra Humphreys at Wednesday, October 07, 2009 3:55 PM

Unfortunately, it is not possible in the current version. So, there is no simple solution without any code knowledge. But, I'm working on the new release and I will let know (here, in this post) when it is possible.

 

Error when go to the design your form link
Aniket Patel replied to Alon Havivi at Thursday, November 12, 2009 5:20 PM

Its a one of the great webparts to fill up the form in a clean way. I have couple of problems with the form webparts.When i click modify shared webparts and the fill up all the details needed in the form generator properties. but when i click on the "Design your form" then it will came up the page "File Not Found" error. Also if you have more than one content type in the lists it will show up the content type field in the form with dropdown having lists of all content types which is not good.

Any thought where to make changes to resolve this.

Thanks

Hi Alon, I have gone through your Sharepoint articles and it is really awesome. Could you please help me to start up with Sharepoint? I am wondering what should be the basic requirement to start learning? What resources required etc etc...

You can presume that I am proficient in C# but naive in Sharepoint. :)

Thanks,
Raj.
