Best place to convert field
« on: August 09, 2013, 09:24:26 AM »
Hi, I have RTF fields that I need to strip the RTF data off before displaying them. Where would be the best embed point to put the converting logic. The field I'm trying to put it in is on my form as a text read only field.

Let's assume you have a procedure to do the stripping - say StripRTF, which takes the string and returns a string without the RTF tags.
Then on the browse, in the browse column properties you can set the "Display" field to read
StripRTF(whatever)

cheers
