How can I use on a form a text box area in BaaN V? I want to read a long string in a session (including enter character).

Thank you very much for your help

I am not sure if Multi-line text window is supported in Baan-5 version, refer to the thread - Text editor window title (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=53029)

Alternatively, you can try this option - Different look for text in display mode (http://www.baanboard.com/baanboard/showthread.php?t=24108&highlight=text) to pop up a text window.

Thank you very much, my issue here is that I want use the field as an input (and I don't know the type of domain to use), I want to read with a 2D scanner a lot information like (qty|item):

1|123456
34|6548971
3|65465456

and parse (with field separator and line separator) the input by column and line to store the information in a BaaN table, the last use o this information is to make a transfer or inventory transfer.

NPRao, I saw your post in other forum, I didn't realized that you was the same answering in my question, you upload a file with a screen as example( session zmmig1100m000).
