1. Open the DB
2. Click one of the test Action buttons. The dialog is just for show, but look at it
3. Now select one of the field definitions in the view and change it.
e.g. Move a field to another group
4. Now click on the same test Action button again and you will see a
new dialog that reflects the change you made.

Posted by Adeleida du Toit on 10/13/2006 10:34:48 AMVery cool

The example code is written very clearly - it will be really easy to reuse this. This would be great for buildling quick questionnaires, by the way. A useful tutorial also, if you would like to get into the whole DXL arena. Thanks!

I get "Missing namespace for root element" - no matter what I try

What version are you using Leonardo? I've only tested this under 7.0, so there may well be differences between versions as the dtd will differ.
Have a look at Michaels entry about DocType.

Now I see that the version posted for the code is 7.x. That link is helpful - I'll to get it to work and post results.
