Can you use the AR System Message Catalog for non-system messages? I thought that container was meant for core system messages only.. Using a temp field on the form and using that to set to the Message action would be probably the easiest way to overcome the size limitation.. Joe

There is a 255 characters limit for Filters, there is not limit for Active Link "Message" action. I am running a Filter Guide on "Submit" and "Modify", while the filter Guide validates the data it keeps concatenating the "Validated" fields to a Error field, I need to display the field to the user once the validation is complete, but there is a 255 characters limit. In "Modify" mode, I can assign the Error field to a display only field on the form, but not in the "Submit" mode. The Message active link or filter action In the Text field, enter the text of the message. You can enter an unlimited number of characters for active links and a maximum of 255 characters for filters. You can use the Text field list to insert fields from the current form or keywords (see "Keywords" on page 673). The field or keyword will be expanded when the message is sent. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please let me know if you have any ideas.
