On a form that will be used as a Web page, I can have a and use it to generate fields on the Web page at run time. The would have a formula of…
{
}
Can I do something similar on a form used on a normal Notes client?

You can obviously design your form to add HTML for extra fields when the page is rendered. However, the Domino server won’t store fields which don’t correspond to a field on the form. You would have to harvest the data from these fields in the onsubmit event, and put them into a “real” field so that the server will notice them.
Alternately, you could have the submit URL of the form invoke an agent that would read the fields from the submitted data and do what you like with them.

Thank you, Andre. I’ve created some fields on my form using Passthru HTML. But the issue I have now is that when I create a document in my Notes Client using that form, I click on the field to start entering my data, but it only accepts the first character that I type… And then the cursor loses focus to some other field at the top of the form. Have you ever seen this problem before?

Thank you, Andre. I’ve never used Passthru HTML for a Notes client. Thanks for leading me to this.
