Validation

I have a field "Quoted by" that is the employees name. I have this field

checked to "always validate"; "Not empty"; "member of list"; and show a

message if empty. I have a record where the "Quoted by" is empty and when I

click anywhere on the layout should not the message appear? What am I doing

wrong?

Is this a new or existing record? FileMaker won't try to validate existing records unless you modify some field in that record.

The idea of validtion is to stop bad data entry in the first place, not to catch it later.
