Question

Text Box issue

I have a CP 6 module with Text Entry boxes used to capture notes from students who are working on specific problems.  If they type in all numbers or type in "<" followed by anything else their notes are not displayed.  I am running a report from the data they submit and the values typed in are all shown in the report.

Is there a way to make a TEB accept and display everything that is typed?

Thanks!!

    Strange characters like "<" will not be accepted, but numbers shouldn't give any issues. Which version of 6? First version was very buggy.

    I'm running CP 6 version 6.0.1.240

    It appears that any text following the < is being treated as an HTML tag.  If I enter <adcde then nothing is displayed.  If I enter HELLO<b then the text HELLO appears by itself in bold.  I can use all of the other special characters and they appear fine.

    Note that whatever is typed is stored in the variable and appears in a report at the end of the module.

    Thanks for your help!
