Tom, I suppose this question is strongly related to the next one (CloseWindow fails).

thanks tom
it did work for text field, however when i try for rich text field as the field
contains lots of data then i tried the same method however cannot get
the rich text field value
any clues?
Thanks.
RTF field won't work.
That is to say : not everything works for Rich Text.

For instance, you can't show Rich Text content in a view , and you can't edit rich text values in a combobox/prompt/whatever.

What exactly are you trying to do ?

cheers,

Tom
To read RT Field content use @Abstract... Look into help for parameters.

This has to be in a computed field and use this field in view

Or, if you use R6, @text.
In R5 you are stuck with @Abstract, though

cheers,

Tom
@Abstract only picks up changes after they are saved.

Don't use rich text fields where you don't absolutely have to.
