ChasCH Posted October 22, 2004 Author Share Posted October 22, 2004 I thought I could strip out every "line" and put it in a different field.... but I would definitely like to avoid something like this, as it would require about 80 new custom fields for each record .... first text field name - "fred" second text field name - "Abby & Joe" - would bonk anyway because of the & Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Smith Posted October 22, 2004 Share Posted October 22, 2004 DO NOT DOUBLE POST! I have responded to your Post in the "Value List" Topic area, this was after I moved it from the General Question Area. So, go with that one and Delete this one. If you want to know more about what a double post is, and why it is frowned upon to do it, just do a search for my name and Double + Post and you will see what it is all about.
