Field Validation

[NikV]

Is there a way to do field validations where if something is choosen from a
drop down then a text field is required before submission to database?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,

Are you submitting with your own code? Because if you are, you can check
the value of the textbox by code, cancel the event if needed and display a
message to the user.

Franck;
I am not submitting with my own code. I am using the built in Submit
button. Is there a way to validate it with using my own submit code?

This is what I would like to have. If the user chooses a status of Red or
Yellow, an explanation is required in a text field before submit occurs.
Thanks Franck!

Yes, you can (and maybe should) use your own code to achieve the most
flexibility.

You can look into the OnSubmitRequest option:

Or you can bypass the entire built-in submit. Add a button on your form and
call a WS or Save your form, etc. and then close it (which will be the same
as a Submit to the end user).

Hope that it helps.
