try LenB

Have you had a look at the LenB function (length in bytes)? You can use it to test both the string you want to add, and/or the existing string field.

As to the 'feature' of IsSummary, you are right, I don't see it in the help file. It's one of those pieces of lore handed down from developer to developer. I found it when I faced a similar dilemma to yours, and I was searching through the forums for clues. Half of what I know about coding in Notes is from the help files, the other half is from these forums. Make sure to check the version 6/7 forum, too. Lots of information there that hasn't been repeated in the newer forums.
