We import grades from a teacher gradebook on a weekly basis. I have defined the teacher number to validate to accept numeric values only. This works on data entry, but when data is imported non-numeric values are allowed. Is there away to validate during or after the import. FM4.0. thanks Hoggie

If the source file is FMP then you can apply the same validation there.

By the way, what would you do with the data if it failed to validate ?

Unfortunately the source file generated by the gradebook program is tab separated text file. Is there a script or process to run once the files are imported to force it to validate this field. thanks hoggie

Thanks for helping me find the Is Valid script step. This will work. Hoggie
