I have an agent that takes a copy of a template document and puts in values from a text file.
I am running into a problem when adding a hyperlink to a field programmatically, If I just add the text (e.g. http://www.google.com) there is no hyperlink just plain text. If I add the text manually, by editing the document just adding the address works fine and is clickable.
I have tried creating a rich text object then adding that to the field but that doesn't work either :(
Set rtItem = New NotesRichTextItem( doc, "link" )
Call rtitem.AddNewLine( 1 )
Call rtItem.AppendText ("http://www.google.com")
doc.AppendItemValue "Details", rtItem
To be clear, I'm looking for a way to append a clickable hyperlink to a field using lotusscript. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Upon further inspection if I generate a document with a link in the text field and save it (programmatically using doc.save) it saves as plain text, as soon as I then go into this document and do a manual save the plain text turns into a link just fine. Could something be wrong with how I am saving?
If (Not doc.save(True,False,True)) Then
Msgbox("Document could not save")
End If
