The results of observations aimed at detecting magnetic fields in the Be star λ Eri are reported. The observational data are analyzed both through application of an approximate analytical method and through computation of a number of simple numerical models in view of deriving constraints on the magnetic fields. General conclusions are drawn about future prospects for magnetic field detections in Be stars.
