reduce the rows on a subform

Is there a way to reduce the number of rows that you can enter on a subform ?
Limit seems no solution.
This limits the number of rows displayed but not the number of rows that can be entered.
Thanks
Johan

Johan,
There is no default settings that can be changed on a subform to do what you have asked, however..
If you put this code in the JavaScript textarea of the form that holds the subform, you can restrict it to whatever you want.
you will need to change these 2 parameters in nuLoadThis()
limitRows(
pSubformName,
pMaximumRows);
Code: Select all
function nuLoadThis() {
limitRows(pSubformName, pMaximumRows);
}
function limitRows(pSubformName, pMaximumRows){
var fldPrefix = Array();
fldPrefix[0] = '';
fldPrefix[1] = 'code'; //-- lookup code field
fldPrefix[2] = 'description'; //-- lookup description field
fldPrefix[3] = 'luup_'; //-- lookup button
fldPrefix[4] = 'cal_'; //-- calander button
var rowPrefix = Array();
var rowPrefix = nuSubformRowArray(pSubformName);
var totalCols = document.getElementById('columns' + pSubformName).value;
for(var r = pMaximumRows ; r < rowPrefix.length ; r++){
for(var c = 0 ; c < totalCols ; c++){
var fieldName = document.getElementById(pSubformName + c).value;
for(var p = 0 ; p < fldPrefix.length ; p++){
if(document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r] + fieldName)){
document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r] + fieldName).style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
}
}

Steven,
This works fine, thanks a lot.
Only the delete button stays visible.
I've tried to add fldPrefix[5] = 'delete'; //-- delete button but that's not correct.
Can you help me on that?
Thanks;
Johan

Here you go..
Code: Select all
function limitRows(pSubformName, pMaximumRows){
var fldPrefix = Array();
fldPrefix[0] = '';
fldPrefix[1] = 'code'; //-- lookup code field
fldPrefix[2] = 'description'; //-- lookup description field
fldPrefix[3] = 'luup_'; //-- lookup button
fldPrefix[4] = 'cal_'; //-- calander button
fldPrefix[5] = 'row'; //-- tickbox button
var rowPrefix = Array();
var rowPrefix = nuSubformRowArray(pSubformName);
var totalCols = document.getElementById('columns' + pSubformName).value;
for(var r = pMaximumRows ; r < rowPrefix.length ; r++){
for(var c = 0 ; c < totalCols ; c++){
var fieldName = document.getElementById(pSubformName + c).value;
//document.getElementById(rowPrefix[r] + fieldName).style.visibility
for(var p = 0 ; p < fldPrefix.length ; p++){
if(document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r])){
document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r]).style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
if(document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r] + fieldName)){
document.getElementById(fldPrefix[p] + rowPrefix[r] + fieldName).style.visibility = 'hidden';
}
}
}
}
}
