Required Fields

[mKirk]

Ahhh...the learning curve...so much fun. Simple question today (I think!) How does one go about making a given field required? I know that I can set Validation to requre Not Empty, but I'm already using Validation to check maximum character count, so I need the custom alert menu for that. I'm just trying to create something similar to a typical web-based form that has required fields and prompts the user if they have missed a required field.

Thanks in advance.

You can set the validation formula to something like this:

(not IsEmpty(theField)) and (Length(theField)<20)
