Error Messages
Where possible, OmniForm error messages attempt to pinpoint a
problem and offer a solution. Sometimes one solution may not work or
there may be more information that does not fit into the dialog box.
Many calculation errors are the result of improperly constructed
calculations. See “Calculation Guidelines” on page 226 for detailed
information.
Low Memory or Disk Space Errors
If an error message contains the instruction “Close open windows and
applications to free up memory” see “Low Memory” on page 262. If an
error message says you are low on disk space, see “Low Disk Space” on
page 264.
Scanner Errors
If a scanner error message appears, always check scanner connections,
make sure the scanner is not in use by another application, and verify
that your scanner is supported by OmniForm. See “Scanners” on page
267 for a list of supported scanners. Test your scanner in Windows with
the manufacturer’s software to make sure that it works properly.
Other Error Messages
The following messages are listed alphabetically.
All objects within an Option Group must be of the same type.
An Option Group can consist of circle text objects or check box objects.
OmniForm does not allow the same Option Group name to be assigned
to different object types.
Calculation Error: Cannot resolve circular references.
This message appears if two or more fields are logically connected in a
closed loop so that no value can be returned. For example, suppose you
selected the field
Cost1
and created this calculation for it:
Sum([Cost1],[Cost2])
A circular reference error message would appear because the selected
field cannot be involved in returning its own sum.
