Validate field message

Hi, custom web publishing, I have just set a field in a message database so that when someone creates a new message, it validates their name against a contact list database. This works OK except that the message that is posted up on failure is being generated by the browser rather than FileMaker and is fairly obscure:

"your attempt to edit a record failed because of the following:

not a member value of a specified value list on field required_username"

I tried setting the mesage to "you must enter your name as it appears on the contact list" in FileMaker, but it has no effect.

How can I send a clear messgae here?

thanks, jeff

Are you using a "-error" tag?

Ah! of course - it's such a simple db that there's no error format file. I guess I have to go look up the right error code and make an "If" for it

thanks!
