I'm new to Notes and I'm having a problem (isn't that a cliché
situation!)

The problem is this. I can export records from a database to
"Structured text" format but I can't import them back in. When I try
to import them back in to the database, it pulls in some of the
information, but it doesn't pull up the main field of the database
which is text.

I have a feeling the problem may lie in the fact that one of the
fields contains carridge returns. I've changed the default document
break to Chr(134)--which I know won't be in the text--but I still
can't get it to import correctly.

Is there anyway to use an agent to read the information in? I haven't
been able to find out another about agents to be able to import the
information my self.

Any help with this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Dan Switzer, II

Dan,

carefully read the explanation of structured text import/export in
the Notes help file (fulltext-search for "import & view").
You might have to implement a .COL description file for import.
I believe you are right when you say that no carriage return may be in
an import-field.
