I think you'll have to first use a Set Field to pull in the database value of your diary field to a display-only character field. Then use 'displayonly_field' != $NULL$ in your active link's Run If. Otherwise the active link will only look at the current updates to your diary field on the screen.

Sent: Thursday, October 25, 2007 9:08 AM To: arslist@ARSLIST.ORG Subject: Diary Fields This may be a dumb question, but..... Can you use the qualification of != $NULL$ on a diary field? I want to have an active link fire if there are any previous entries in a diary field, but it doesn't seem to be working. Andy L.
