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

hi

thanks for the help

but is didnt work

the code put the next input beside the previous

expected result:
bar
code

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)

oh can you help me on how to remove the selected or hilited item in the field?

i am using scrolling list field

thanks so much for your help and time

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..

Hi pidobearBUSsb9q ,

Do you have an error message ?

Hi pidobearBUSsb9q,

Do you want delete the hilitedlines or have no hilitedlines in your field ?
