I have a simple solution with a few fields that are setup with field validation. The validations are that the field must contain a value from a specified value list. However, I am allowing the user to overide this validation, as it may be necessary to continue completeing the record at that time.

I would like to either flag that record at the time of the validation error, or run a script later over a series of records looking for the records that may have had a validation error. My intention then, is to update a value list if necessary, to allow that entry, if it should come up again later or correct the user in who is inputing the wrong information

Any ideas on how to implement this would be greatly appreciated...

Thanks

The expression =

IsEmpty ( FilterValues ( YourField ; ValueListItems ( Get (FileName) ; "YourValueList" ) ) )

will return true if the field contains a non-valid value (or is empty). You can use it in a calculation field, or in a looping script.

Perfect, thats just what I was looking for. I really appreciate this information.
