Subject: RE: how to get the handle of each name from Names Field

A Names field is like any other field as far as getting the values from it, and there are built-in functions in formula language and LotusScript for removing duplicate elements from a list of values. This is extremely basic, beginner stuff, which makes me think you’re trying to develop Notes applications without having had any training or reading a book. I suggest you correct this.

If you aren’t just asking us to show you how to write a validation formula, we need more information about what you’re doing. If you’re not sure what information to supply, the C R I S P Y document might help you.
