I have a field that should be validated against 2 constrictions:

1) not empty

2) calculation

and I want the error message write " you must enter a value" when user left it empty, and another message on the other validity failure.

can I do this & how.

thanks.

When defining fields you may also determine validation criteria - unique, is in a value list, not empty etc.. Also you may have a standard message or a custom message to warn the user that there's something not right.

See the OPTIONS > VALIDATION when creating or editing a field.

With field validation, you only get ONE custom message for ANY type of validation failure.

If you need more details to assist your user through data-entry, consider a scripted approach.
