Hi,If the user is attaching more than 5 mb into a richtext field in Notes Client while creating new document, then it should not allow to attach. How can I do this?

Thanks

I used lotuscript to check size, I found that the document size was available if the item was added as an attachment, however it was not there if someone did a “File Import”. To get around this I added script in the Onunload and Querysave events on the form

You could use the @AttachmentLengths Function or the FileSize property (if using Lotusscript) to test for the size.

from designer helpThis example returns 6102 if that is the approximate size of the single, attached file.

You can create a querySave code… however if you want to display the forbidden msg when the user clicks on OK in the file-attach dialog then you should use a third party utility like zipmail (www.zipmail.com)HTH
