I have built a simple survey that I intend to administer using IWP. I want to require that a field is not empty before the user moves to the next question, so I am using the following script:

If[survery::q1_result = ""]

Show Custom Dialog ["Error";"Please complete the fields on this page."]

Else

Go to Layout ["Survey_p2"]

End If

Problem is, of course, Show Custom Dialog is not IWP compatible. I started out with field validation but that did not seem to work as the error was produced for all questions on the first question layout.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

My only solution to this problem was to use separate layouts and fragment scripts around them. If you're talking about a bunch of standardized error messages, you could set up a single error layout and select the appropriate error message from an errors table.

HTH,

Thanks, this might work. I only have the one error message (Please complete the survey question before preceeding) and I can return the user to the previous layout (the survey question).
