Hi
i am trying to put records into a particular field when the user click a button
but every time the user click a second time, the previous record is deleted and the new one is put in.
How to make the new records automatically place in the next line without overwriting the previous?
thanks in advance
cheers

Need to include a LF (linefeed) at the end of the string.. Yes, the LF in the code above is literally the letters LF (still replace TEXT with your text and FIELD with the name of your field)

You set the
hilitedLine property.. I cannot remember if you set it to 0 (zero) or EMPTY but one of those will do it for you..
Code: Select all
set the hilitedLine of field "FIELD" to EMPTY

Hi pidobearBUSsb9q ,
Use hilitedlines instead hilitedline (one s at the end)
Code: Select all
set the hilitedLines of field "FIELD" to empty
Best regards
