Newbies delpico Posted December 5, 2000 Newbies Share Posted December 5, 2000 hallo. I'm trying to create one field validate by calculation making one comparison with the text of another field. But I can't find one suitable formula to this. I try with several combinations but always let me put anything in this "validate" field. thanks.

Chuck Posted December 5, 2000 Share Posted December 5, 2000 Validation doesn't check the field's contents until you exit the field by clicking out of it, pressing tab or pressing enter. When you exit the field, FileMaker will check the validation equation. If it returns true, nothing will happen. If it returns false, then either the default dialog for an invalid field entry will appear, or the custom dialog (specified in the validation) will appear. If you have specified that this is strict validation, the user will not be able to override the entry. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
