Hi

I attatched some documents to a rich textfield.But when I proceed I find that those attatchments which I attatched in the field are displayed at the bottom of the screen .I tried to delete them using

FIELD x:=@DeleteField

But the document itself is being removed .When I tried to open the attatchment from the field I got the error “Note item not found” . How can I hide the $FILE attatchments from the screen without deleting them?

For hiding the $File attachments in the web, use an internal field named “$V2AttachmentOptions” that can be added anywhere to the form. This field should be of Text type(i.e, Editable, Computed or Computed for Display) and set the value as “0”. In Notes Client you can be able to see the attachments but in Web, they will be hidden.

Cheers,

Balu

Excluding the RTF field in the Notes client from a form does not “hide” the field. As you can see, the attachment ends up at the bottom of the form. For a Notes client (and not the web), one way to do successfully hide the file is to insert the field in a collapsed section, and use the hide-when formula of the section.

Hi

Thank you all for the fast response.

But I need to hide the attatchments from Notes Client . I tried creating a field called “$FILE” and inserting in a section and then hiding the section using formula . The attatchments are hidden . But while trying to view them from the icon , an error is occuring

“Notes item not found”

In effect , if the field is hidden by any means , the above error is thrown while opening the attatchment from the document. Is there some other way by which I can hide the attatchments from the bottom of the screen at the same time be able to view them when I open it from the icon in the document.

I tried creating a field called “$FILE”

I haven’t looked at this in a good long while but I think that field is a bad idea. $FILE items are items Notes creates and destroys as needed to handle attachment data. Best to leave them alone. Remove that field and put your rich text field in the section instead.
