Is there any reason why records are still getting created after submitting and getting the error page? Normally the errors are that users are inputing the date fields incorrectly, ie 31 days in months that have less 11/31/03 or 2/29/03 thus getting sent to an error page. The problem is that new records are getting created upon every error.

My psychic abilities are currently impaired.

Would you post the code for your form?

What version of Pro are you using?

My guess is that FM creates the record first then attempts to populate the fields.

If it is a problem you may have to delete the record from the error page.

All the best.

why not use some JavaScript to prevent them from entering faulty info in the 1st place?!

My original problem is a win2k machine running FM pro unlimited 5.5 that serves files to our intranet. It is a guest of a win2k machine hosting files and running FM server 5.

I have used another win2k computer running Filemaker 5.5 pro(not unlimited) - serving the files to the intranet as guest to FM Server 5 as described above, but the new records don't get created when there is the identical date validation error on the web. I don't get it!
