    Text will not save in Text box

    I recently customized a screen in "Edit Campaign" and added a text box.  Every time I save and close, I lose my text.  I have deleted and inserted an object text box.  Every time I returned to the campaign to edit the original text I added as notes disappears.  Any ideas?

    Hi Afrec,

    It sounds like you need to add the field to the Campaign table first. After its added to the table, the field can be dragged on to the screen. Let me know if that helps.

    Thanks Matt for the response.  I do believe you are right. You can place a textbox to the screen, but you have to add an action to take the value and store it in a certain field on the table or it is lost.  The system doesn't know where to save the value if it is a plain textbox.
