Hi

Yes it's me again. I have got a check box field formatted as a
button. If the check box is selected to on then as well as putting a
check in the box I want to add a text line to a field, as stated
above, not replacing any existing contents of that field but appending
the text to it.

I know the theory of the script that I need to use. My question is
which script-step function to use in order to append the text.
I think set field won't work becasue that usually replaces the whol
contents. Then there's copy and paste and there's set selection,
insert text.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks
JayBee

Set Field (TargetFieldName; TargetFieldName & "<p>" & "New text goes here")

That <p> is the paragraph character, which doesn't render in all news readers.

So you preserve the original contents by including it in the
calculation, then insert a return, and the new text.
