Validation

[Vav]

Hello,

Quick question. I want to add some validation rules to my form.

I want a message box to pop up when the user is either moving from one form to another or when the user is exiting the form instructing them to fill out the required text boxes.

Where should i do this.

For example, if a user is entering a new customer in the "Customer Form" and they lease the telephone number blank, I want them to be promted to add in the telephone before they can leave that form.

If you require further explanation, please advise.

THanks,

Peter Vav

I would use the before update event. If the validation test fails, you can include a "cancel = true" to stop the update and force the user back to the offending field.
