Hi,

It will be much easier to help You if You provide some code which You try.

In @Formula or LotusScript?

If LS - did You try ValueLength property? Remember, document must be saved first.

Regards,

Konrad

Hi Konrad,

I am using the LS code. The code is executing on the querysave event. The validation is that the RTF should not be blank. It should have either text os some attachment.

The code is:

Function fndContent(uidoc As NotesUIDocument, rtn As NotesRichTextNavigator, fld As String) As Integer

fndContent = False

If (rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_DOCLINK) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_FILEATTACHMENT) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_OLE)) Or _ 

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_SECTION) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLE) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TABLECELL) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTPARAGRAPH) Or _

rtn.FindFirstElement(RTELEM_TYPE_TEXTRUN) Then

	fndContent = True

Else		

	If uidoc.FieldGetText(fld)<>"" Then

		fndContent = True

	End If

End If

End Function

This code was not running correctly.

Under what circumstances does it fail? I notice that you are using both front-end and back-end methods. Are you aware of the issues related to synchronization of rich text fields between front and back end classes? Are you doing anything to deal with this?

Why not do it with @ functions? They are quicker after all:

Something along the lines of @If(@Text(RTF) = “” or @Attachments = 0; @Failure(“Git”); @Success)
