I have to say that I have vba / vb experience and can read lotusscript to the point of knowing what is going on, but that's about it. That's why I've come here.

What I would like to do is have a form in Lotus Notes that contains a richtext field. Upon selecting the form from a view, I would like the richtext field to load a picture from a picture file. I will have the pictures stored in such a way that the employee ID (4 digit number) will be the name of the picture file + the file extension. Additionally the ID will be held in a field on the form.

I'm guessing that with string manipulation, the code would go something like:

filename = [ID field].value & ".bmp"
richtextitem.source = filename

I realize that is extremely simplistic. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Fred
