Technical Information 13
Calculation Error: Missing '('.
The calculation is missing a left parenthesis. (The same message with a
right parenthesis appears if that is missing.) Parentheses must enclose
an entire function.
It is easy to leave out a parenthesis in a long, manually created
calculation containing multiple functions. Try using the Calculation
Builder instead so that OmniForm inserts parentheses automatically.
Printer error. Unable to use macro to print form. Make sure you
have assigned a Macro Number. If this has been assigned, then
the current printer may not support macros.
See “Printing Your Form as a Macro” on page 4-10 for information on
this feature.
Scrapbook error. Try freeing up hard disk space, and close
open forms and applications to free up memory.
If disk space or memory is not low, this message may appear because the
Scrapbook (OFS) file is missing or corrupted. A scrapbook file moved or
deleted from the OmniForm\Scrapbooks folder while OmniForm is
open will still appear in the
Scrapbook
drop-down list. If you select it, this
message appears.
Restart OmniForm to update the list of scrapbooks if you delete an OFS
file from the hard drive.
The current word cannot be added to the dictionary because it
contains invalid characters.
The word contains a character such as a caret (^) that OmniForm does
not allow in the dictionary.
The name you entered contains invalid characters. Please enter
a valid name.
A field name can contain only letters, numbers, the underscore character
( _ ), and spaces.
This form is protected. Turn off form or data protection to make
changes.
Form/data protection is active. See “Protecting Your Database” on page
7-25 for detailed information.
