eliminate ms default validation message

[bbxrider]

i have validation for form fields with a msg i created in the table, however after my msg is displayed when validation fails there is a ms default validation msg, that is overkill and i would much prefer to limit the validation msg to mine only. see attached for pic of the ms default msg. is there some way to squelch the ms default msg?

In the table where you set the validation rule, you'll see a field where you can enter validation text. You can enter anything you want there and it will display when needed.

well i thought i explained that i have already done that. when the field does not validate, a msgbox type of msg appears first with what i have put in the validation text. after that msg is acknowledged, a 2nd msgbox comes up, see attachment in original post. that 2nd message is some default thing. it is redundant, confusing, and does not address the specific validation problem. i want to suppress that 2nd msg. clear now?

ok found it, but its weird. the field was numeric month, so the validation rule is 'between 1 and 12' so if you enter 0, 13, etc, my validation message comes up. but if you enter say 'a', the ms default message comes up, so i guess it depends on how you code the validation rule, how comprehensive it is. personally i would prefer for my specific msg to always come up, if the validation returns false.
and for whatever reason, i now cannot get the original default msg to repeat.
so still wondering is there some way to suppress default validation error messages and only allow the validation text from the field in the table
