January 10, 200125 yr Does anyone know how to set up multiple validations for a single field? For instance, I have 3 fields that use the same value list. Once someone selects a name for Field1, I don't want them to select the same name for Field2 without a warning. I've tried using the "Validated by Calculation" function with the following formula: not Field1 AND not Field3 (this would be for Field2). This validation does not seem to work (ie the validation returns as okay when it should return a validation error). If I only use one field in the calculation (for example: not Field1), the validation works. However, this doesn't solve my problem. Any help would be greatly, greatly appreciated. Thanks!!!
