I have a rich text field in a table and set it to hide based on certain criteria but it doesn’t work. The other field types I use work but not rich text. I know I can put it in a section and hide the section but this is not desirable. Any ideas?
Thanks, Paul
Subject: Put it in a subform
and conditionally hide or show the subform. you may have to have two subforms with duplicated fields, just missing the RTF in one.
Subject: Problem on Other Machines
Unfortunately, I just tried on another machine and the subforms are not read in and the attachments end up at the bottom of the doc… any ideas what is going wrong?
Subject: Sounds like the document has been edited with a web browser?
Which would cause the attachments to move. Is this a Notes and Web app?
Subject: Just Notes Access
No, this is just a notes database… no web access. Just so you know, I added at least 5 subforms for each Rich Text field. I’ve been reading in some blogs that say multiple subforms can slow down the document and it does significantly for me. They say adding the “Option Explicit” helps but it didn’t for me. Perhaps there is something else wrong and that is why the attachments end up at the bottom of the form.
Subject: Thanks
Thanks, it appears to work but what a round about way… This must be a bug!
Take care, Paul
Subject: Why a bug?
Subject: bug
It seams like it must be a bug since the field option “Hide Paragraph if Formula is True” is available but doesn’t work!
Subject: Rich Text is Special
Each paragraph in Rich Text can have it’s own settings, and a user can overwrite them. So the first para could be hidden, but then the following paragraph displayed.
Subject: Ok
Ok, I see your point but then why do they make the Hide Field accessible in the form design?
Anyway, no big deal now… thanks for you help.
