Updating text fields via web 1

[pdmatty]

I am trying to update a standard text field via a web button. The text field is in a scetion which is actually hidded fromt the web but it accessible via the Notes client.
The formula i am trying to use is:

@SetField("InputHistory"; LongTopic);
@Command([FileSave]);
result := @Text(IncrementedD);
@Command([FileCloseWindow])

where LongTopic is a field updated by the web form (successfully). InputHistory however won't update.
I did find in Notes Help (version 6) that @SETFIELD cannot be used if Hide-When is selected. Does "Hide from Web browsers" equate to "Hides-when" ? Is there a way round this ?
thanks

Hide from Web Browser" is an option of the Hide/When tab. The impact is obvious : the web browser cannot use the function to change data that is hidden from it (not like in Notes).
Is there a way around this ? Yes, you probably can reproduce the changes in the Query Save event of the form via Formula (if you're careful and very good at it) or via Script (a more secure option, but you need to know Script programming).

Pascal.
