Multi-Value field on a DialogBox

hey All,

Apparently I suck at this MV display thing. I have a field on a form that is hidden that tracks shipments. it separates each entry w/ a comma.

So I get something like:

Entry1 on 11/21/2006,Entry2 on 11/21/2006,Entry3 on 11/21/2006

In my ws.dialogBox I call another form in Read-Only, No buttons and no new fields that has 1 field on it. The same field that stores the string above on the main form. However on the dialogbox form the field properties is set to Allow Multi-Values and I am using a comma seperator to display a new line.

However this doesn’t work unless I specify the same properties on the main form. When I do this however I only keep the last two entries. If I don’t enable the Multi-Value checkbox on the field on my main form, I get the string as I want it. however it doesn’t display pretty in the dialogbox.

Any input appreciated.

Thanks,

Shawn

Try this on your dialogbox:

@Implode(@Explode(yourfieldname; “,”); @NewLine)

This should replace every ‘,’ in the string you describe with a New Line

Hope it helps
