$$Return field problem

I am new to Lotus. I am going through online tutorials and trying to learn.

I am creating a simple form where user can enter a string to search. On submission of the form, instead of getting the default ‘Form processed’ message I want to display the ‘Thank you’ page.

Problem: I am getting the thank you page in the first form itself before the user submits the form. After the form submission, it is displaying ‘thank you’. But I don’t want it to be displayed before form submission.

I know this must be very basic, but I am not able to identify the problem.

Thanks in advance.

Please find the below code snippet:

Test Search Page

Search in Database:

<>

<<$$Return>> (I have set the value as ‘Thank you’)

It sounds like you need to use the hide properties of the paragraph containing the $$Return field, to make it always hidden.
