Yes I know, but as I said it is a note field, so there is editing.

Over the years, however, it has come out that I do not use the RichText 
features in those notes, so it might be possible to switch to the 
simpler TextArea here. I would need some kind of filter though to 
convert the existing RichTexts into simple texts.
