I keep getting an annoying dialog box on entry of a field (defined as check-boxes);

The only way to stop this is delete the field and start-over again, re-defining the list values...

Frank.

That dialog box is telling your entry doesn't match the Field Type.

Example:

A date field will not accept an entry that doesn't conform to the system preferences (i.e. xx/xx/xxxx or x/x/xxxx or xxxx/x/x etc.)

Hi Lee, my field is , my list is, well, er, text...

Deleting and recreating the field seems to clear the problem - but NOT with the exact same (pasted) values?!

Square

Circle

Triangle

The above list may give me the error dialog;

Cube

Sphere

Pyramid

...clears the 'fault'

Is this a known bug? It's really, really annoying!

Hi

try to check the validation options of that field.

Wow, with this description it could be a couple of things. Did you try reindexing the field?

If not, turn off indexing in the options, click okay back to the main Define Fields window, and then go back in and turn indexing back on. This may correct the problem.

Otherwise, your file might have some corruption.
