The type of a field cannot be changed directly. But I cannot believe that the type is set to text, when you save a richtext field.

Could you please give us your code. I suspect you are using “doc.field = value” and that would result in a text field.

You might try:

dim rtitem as NotesRichTextItem

…

set rtitem = new NotesRichTextItem(doc, “name”)

rtitem.AppendText(“text”)
