This tip shows you how to do it. Create hotspot buttons on the fly using DXL [Bryce Berry] In R6, there have been some great improvements in the accessibility of rich text fields and the various items that can exist within them (for example, tables and doc links) through LotusScript, but hotspot buttons are not one of them. However, using DXL, you can create a hotspot button dynamically and add it to a rich text field on the fly. In this example, the user selects a number of entries from a database library, and buttons to open up each database are created in a new memo.

ADVICE:  Ask Andre Guirard: Attach file via Java agent using embedObject Dear Andre: I am trying to attach a file via a Java agent using the embedObject method. The problem I'm having is that some documents are correctly attached but some aren't. I wonder if there is a size issue here, because the attachment works fine with small documents.
