I have a hidden text box on a Lawson form. I am trying to replace it with a text Area to allow greater input. The database field has plenty of room.

I was hoping by simply adding the text Area and changing the XML source to the data field for the original text box, I could "fool" Lawson into handling the text area as the orignal text box.

Has anyone accomplished this? Or must I do a DME & AGS call to tie to the text Area... regardless?

This is the XML source line that works for a non-hidden text box:

This is the XML source line that does NOT work for the Text Area I added to replace the text box:
 <br />  <br />     This is the XML of the hidden text box that is in the same XML as the textarea ( I have tried deleting this line, so that there was only 1 item with the nm="LE3-RESPONSE-TXT1-32" property. -- it did not work): <br /> <fld al="left" blankzero="0" ed="upper" nbr="_f129" nm="LE3-RESPONSE-TXT1-32" oc="1" rtn="1" sz="99" tp="Hidden" id="hidden76"/>
