The display only field solution appears to be the ticket if you don't mind the Modified Date being changed. In my case it didn't matter as I also need an entry placed in the transaction diary. I have it setup and it appears to work perfectly.
Thanks for all the help. Andy L.

Because of the issue with email notification processes truncating the T0: and CC: addresses to 256 characters, we've changed a lot of our workflow to use push fields directly to the Email Messages form. If you need any help just drop me on note and I'll share our experiences.

Sent: Monday, October 01, 2007 12:59 PM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Re: Notification Help I was hoping to be able to do a Run Process call from an Active Link that would fire a Filter or Escalation to send a notification. While a very viable solution, I would prefer not to have to create another form just to send a notification. I am obviously not the most experienced Remedy Admin (pretty much muddle my way through it), but it seems silly that ARS will not let you do a Notification action from an active link. I'm guessing it has to do with Active Links being executed on the Client side, but it would be nice to be able to call a Filter or something from the active link. I think I am going to try David's suggestion about doing a push to the email form. If I can't get that to work I may try the Display Only "Send email" flag someone mentioned in another post. If all else fails, I guess I will have to create a display only form and try it that way. I was thinking it would be more work, but at this point it's not sounding too bad. Thanks for all the ideas guys. Without this list my life would be much more difficult. Andy L.
