js22 Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 Hello, I have a question that may not have an answer. Is there a way to require a field? I have an inventory database that I'm setting up. One of the fields is entitle "Type". I'm wondering if there is a way to not allow you to move on to other sections of the database if the "Type" field is left empty for a new record entered? Any advice would be great, js22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T-Square Posted December 28, 2006 Share Posted December 28, 2006 You can set a field to use validation, which will pop up a message when the validation fails. In define database, open the field's options and go to the tab for validation. You could use a calculation like: "Not(IsEmpty(ThisField))" I have had trouble in FM7 with this method of validation under IWP. Basically, FM wants to put up a dialog box, but can't do that through the browser, and the system appears to hang. That may have been something with my own implementation, but I'd check that closely if I were deploying via IWP. HTH, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
