Greetings:In a Suggestion Box database I’m developing,I need to include the text body of the parent document in the response document,not the whole parent document with the headers and graphics. I tried @Text and @Abstract, but neither works. High-level user does not want a link to the parent document, wants to see only the text of the parent document (suggestion). By the way our Lotus Notes is not web-enabled.
Thanks in advance for your help.

What goes wrong with @Abstract, specifically? That’s exactly what I’d use for this job.

My knowledge of formula language and Lotus Script is weak,so perhaps I am not using it properly, or using it in the wrong place, but the whole parent document is still showing up in the reposnse

Sounds like you’ve got inheritance set up slightly wrong. On the second (Defaults) tab of the form properties of your response document, check “Formulas inherit values from selected document” but not “Inherit entire selected document…” Put a computed-when-composed text field on the response form, using @Abstract and the name of the RTF on the parent document, perhaps like this:
@Abstract([TEXTONLY]; 64994;“” ; “RTF name”)
