Formatting RichText Link (LotusScript)

I’m displaying a link in a Rich Text field using the following LotusScript…

Dim workspace As New NotesUIWorkspace

Dim doc As NotesDocument

Dim rtitem As Variant

Set uidoc = workspace.CurrentDocument

Set doc = uidoc.Document

While doc.HasItem(“Link”)

Call doc.RemoveItem("Link") 'Clears any prior value

Wend

Set rtitem = doc.CreateRichTextItem(“Link”)

Call rtitem.AppendDocLink(doc, “Link to the document”, doc.Title(0))

Call doc.Save( False, False, False )

QUESTION: This displays with the usual Notes green box around the hotspot. How can I get rid of this and use blue underlining instead?

Make sure the doc.Title(0) really has a value, and is not named something else.

I am not sure how to avoid the box. I have looked through the forum and teh designer help.

Cheers,

There is not a way to avoid the box if you use AppendDocLink.

You could use passthru HTML to create an “” link and use a Notes URL to loink to the document.

Oh yeah, sorry, I misunderstood the question. I forgot the native method had that limitation.

That sounds like the most workable option. Thanks to everyone for the replies!
