Hi everyone, after searching the forums, I found many answers similar to this, but at a higher level than I need/understand.
I feel this should be easy, I’m just not getting any where.
I am trying to create a button for my Notes toolbar that will insert my initials “JB” and the current date and time as text (assuming the cursor is in a text field). What formula could I insert on the button to make this happen? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!!

Did you look at @SetField?

Thanks Doug…I’ve seen that in other posts (and searched to figure how it relates) but can’t find anything basic enough to show me from scratch.
as a side note, why aren’t all the command functions in Lotus Notes Help? Or, am I just not finding them altogether?
Subject: RE: an Easy one??
Are you looking in the client help db or the designer help db? @SetField and all the other functions are listed in the design help db.
Subject: RE: an Easy one??
Well that would explain it…I’ve only got the client installed, not designer.
It seems you folks are my only resource at the moment. How can I write the formula to get the current time/date in a button on the toolbar? THANKS!
