More Tips from Notes.net

Have you ever wanted to display the contents of rich text fields in a view? For example: You want to let your users be able to bold and set the fonts for their comments, but you also want to have these comments appear in a view.

Here's a solution using the @Abstract function. On the form, if the rich text field name is Body, create a hidden, computed text field (for example, call it BodyText) with the following value:

@Abstract( [TextOnly]:[TrimWhite]; 64000 ; "" ; "Body" )

You then can display the Body Text field in views!
