I am trying to create a from with a custom control - Autodesk DWF Viewer
Control
I insert the control, that's OK. I fI right click - Properties and try to
click the "Source Path", the form crashes. Thats one item.
Here's the bigger problem
I insert a text field, we'll call it DrawingNumber. I Right-Click the DWF
viewer control, "Change Binding" and 'point to' the DrawingNumber field. When
the form is filled out and you tab/enter out the the DrawingNumber field, the
DWF control "updates" and displayed the corresponding DWF. :D Yeah!

When I save the form and reopen, the viewer control is blank. If I simple
place the cursor in the DrawingNumber field and Tab/Enter - Nothing. If I
"edit" the field and move out of it - budda boom budda bing - the DWF
controls displays correctly.

Let me say,I am NOT a programmer (well maybe a little - when basic as just
that basic). There must be away to effectivly force the DWF control to
re-read that bound data on open (or whatever...)

Kindly-type of neophyte help please

I think what happens is when the field has already been set it thinks it has
done its job so doesn't look to do it again.  A better route may be to open
up the fields properties and add a rule saying that if @DrawingNumber is not
blank then query the data source, that SHOULD achieve the desired result :-)
