Richtext Field and Lotusscript

Hi everyone

I have a problem that I cant find a sollution to. I’m trying to ‘get’ a richtext field with the getFirstItem method of the notesdocument. The item is not retrieved. This is done from an agent in the Notes client.

There are a few things to consider:

 - the item DOES exist on the document

 - The item is large

 - The item is split into two fields on the document

When you look at the debugger → NotesDocument-> Items

You usally see the name of the items in the list but this item does not show the name in the “summary” collapsed item.When you expand the item the name does appear next to the name label???

I will try to show how it appears in the debugger after you expand the “Items” category of the document.

  • SOURCEDOC

    etc…

    -ITEMS

      + [0]  ["CIDAProgram", 1280, 2, False, False, True,...]

  + [1]  ["CIDAProgramF", 1280, 2, False, False, True,...]

  + [2]  ["PageName", 1280, 2, False, False, True,...]

  + [3]  ["Form", 1280, 5, False, False, True, False,...]

  + [4]  

  + [5]  ["DocAuthor", 1280, 38, False, False, True,...]

  + [6]  ["DocCreationDate", 1024, 10, False, False,...]

   etc...

The empty #4 is the item (Richtext) that I’m trying to access, but when expanded everyting seems to be ok.

Anybody have any idea? Hope this was not to confusing.

Where is your code running? Button, agent, form event? Has the document been saved to disk prior to your script running?

It is running from an agent called via a button in a view. The document is an existing document in the database.

thanks
