When creating a new Baan session what do I need to consider if I want to use the texts functionality of Baan?

The person asking me to develop the session wants to enter various amounts of text. So instead of creating 'text' fields confined to 255 characters I want to be able to use the "T" option on the icon bar.

My experience in Baan programming is fairly limited so I have no idea how to proceed.

Could somebody please give me some pointers on what I need to do?

Many thanks

All you need to consider is making sure the main table of the session has a field(s) of text domain and set the text option on the form(s).

To expand on the original question: I have a new session that allows a user to update text as described here. What would be the logic that I would use to prevent the text from being changed based on the value of one of the fields in the table? I have a status field that has two enumerated values: open or closed. When the status is set to closed, I don't want the user to be able to change the text anymore.

Thanks.
