first of all my sincerest apologies for the multiple messages. no spam
intended. that being said:
i doublechecked the info field, ended up deleting it as a user defined
folder field as well as from the form, then added it again, making
sure it is of type Text.
that did not solve the problem. i still get an error as soon as the
the .Restrict gets set. oddly enough , it's always an Automation Error
but the Err. code is not consistent. trying to use the code provided
in
http://support.microsoft.com/?scid=k...6063&x=10&y=14
to maybe get some more info on the Error only returned "Error not
found."

did i rule out the Keywords vs. Text issue by redoing and republishing
the field or are there some more hoops i need to jump through ?
any other ideas on potential causes ?
