Rich Text and DBLookup workaround?

Is there a way to retrieve a Rich Text field using DBLookup?

I know in the help is says no, but I thought someone may have come up with something…

Here is what I am doing:

I have a document in a Notes Database that contains the text that is to appear on the web form.

In a Computed Rich Text field (I know - not the greatest way), call it FIELD A, on the form for the web, it looks up the correct document and grabs the Rich Text field, call it FIELD B and places the values in FIELD A.

If nothing in Formula, I’ll move on to LotusScript.

Thanks!

When using a Notes client, I use a DbLookup to access a RTF by field name (as opposed to by column). Works fine. Don’t know if there would be any implications re Web client.

@DBLookup does just that, even for Rich Text. As Thomas says, specify the field name.Designer Help has always been misleading on this. Once an error has been in Designer Help for a long time, it seems to settle in and become hard to shift.
