[RBASE-L] - Re: Limiting line returns

[Jason Kramer]

Tom,     I think that you could use an ON Keypress EEP to track the current and previous keypress and dump one if they are both CRLFs.     Alternatively, you could read the whole entry after it is complete character by character into a new variable and allow only one CRLF to be copied into the new variable.  Let me know if you want a code example.                                                             Thanks,                                                             Jason Jason Kramer University Archives and Records Management 002 Pearson Hall (302) 831 - 3127 (voice) (302) 831 - 6903 (fax) On 3/26/2012 12:00 PM, Tom Frederick wrote: Is there some way to limit the number of consecutive line returns allowed in a NOTE field? Just had a report that is usually about 4 pages.  This morning it was 14 pages with 10 blank pages. Turned out the field that started the blank lines had 2 lines of text then 520 line returns, another text line, 100 more line returns, then the same text line repeated. Asked the writer, but he had no idea what happened. I assumed something pressed the numeric ENTER key. All the NOTE fields allow about 10 lines on screen or the user clicks to get to the larger Blob editor screen. This is the second time in several months this has occurred so I figure I need some sort of alternative.     Tom Frederick President/CEO Elm City Center 1314 W Walnut Jacksonville, IL  62650 W- 217-245-9504 F - 217-245-2350 E - tom.freder...@elmcity.org
