I'm writing a maintain session and would like to use the text button to view and edit text for the current record. I've already checked the button option on the form and I have a text field in the table in question. How do I get the text button to work like the one in say "tdsls4101m000" header or lines? Has anyone used this functionality and do you have any sample code?

If I understand right, you need to go into Maintain Sessions, Form 1 - choose the 'Texts' button. From there insert the text field(s) from your main table that you want the user to have access to.

Do I need to use choice.text.manager: option?

Not unless you need something special there...it should allow them to create or edit text normally without coding. You added the field in Maintain Sessions..then choose the Text button when you run the session, and a record is highlighted? I just ran through this, I had a text field to add to a multi occurance form. I did:

1. Add the text fields in Maintain Sessions / Texts button
2. Activate the Text button on the form (Standard Options), dump the form.

What happens? What are you expecting?

Works!!! Thanks alot.
