Make RT Field a Text Field!?

HCL Domino Domino Forum

I’ve checked all over and I can’t seem to get this. I have a database with 2,000 documents, each with one RichText field. The user now wants this field to show up in the view. Is there a way to “change” a RichText field to a Text field? I have created a Text field on the form and copied over the value from the RichText field. However, after the copy, the Text field changes to type RichText.Any ideas?? Thanks.

search help on @Abstract and getformattedtext

those will do the trick.

Matt,

Do I hear a Duhh! Thanks for the help; that worked like a charm. I saw ‘GetFormattedText’ in Help but passed over it because of the name; I didn’t think it would serve my purpose. I should’ve looked closer.

Thanks again.
