Hello all this is my first post for help ever anywere so forgive any oversight of protocol.

I am creating a DB that is going to be used with IWP. I noticed that the custom dialog script step is not compatable in IWP. My question is what is best way to let a user know they are doing something wrong (error messages)?

Assume everyone who uses my DB has been educated by Coco the gorilla.

Right now if there is invalid data in a field the user gets no feedback the DB just doesnt allow the user to coninue. This would cause me to get flooded with questions.

The standard web practice is to change to a new page that displays the message. In IWP this would be a new layout.

That sounds crazy enough to work. Thanks.

I thought it was a good question that would have everyone stumped. I was thinking in windows mode not Web mode.
