Form Preview not working

inlogi

Hi there,
When I click the Preview button in the Form Section window to preview a form after I changed the layout IE opens and displays the message "To help to protect your security, Internet Explorer has restricted this webpage from running scripts or ActiveX controls that could access your computer. Click for options.." When I then select "Allow Blocked Content" another Security Warning is displayed "Allowing active content such as script and ActiveX controls can be useful. However, active content might also harm your computer. Are you sure you want to let this file run active content?" I click "Yes" and an empty page is displayed with the message "Done" in the Status bar at the bottom.
Does anybody know how to make this work, so I can preview the form?
Thanks
Inlogi

Try it in another browser first to check whether it's a preview problem or IE problem.

When I tried Mozilla Firefox an empty page is displayed in the browser with the message "Done" in the Status bar. Any other ideas what's going wrong?

Form preview assumes that you are running on a localhost. If you are not running on a localhost you need to change a particular file. There must be a forum post somewhere about this

I searched the forum posts but I wasn't able to find any reference to this problem. Which file are you referring to?

The file UIConfig.props in the BIN directory of the machine running the Configuration Tool. The following properties must be correctly defined:
"WebServer"
"WebServerPort"
"WebAppBase"

The first one should point to the machine of the server if not localhost. The second should point to the web server port if not 8080. The last one is the name of the web application directory if not AwareIM. These are used to form preview URL as follows:

http://WebServer:WebServerPort/WebAppBase/previewFile

previewFile is formed automatically

This is exactly what I needed to know. After I did the relevant changes it worked perfectly fine.
Thanks for your help.
