How would one go about validating inputs on a screen prior to saving? I'm primarily concerned with new records (not updating existing records although that could be helpful as well).

RE: Customization to Validate Inputs before Saving

Yea I need to do the VB code. I just wasn't sure how to set that up to stop the save action. I know how to code for the logic to determine whether to save or not but I don't know what routine to set up or how to stop the save action. Would need someone with some VB experience to help there.

Dear Stephen,

I know there is a List property that can possibly validate. See screenshot.

I don't know exactly what your trying to do , and you may need VB code behind it, which is beyond my own expertise.

Hey Jana,

I am looking to validate the values themselves, so I'd need to do it in the VB editor somewhere. Just wasn't sure how to go about validating input fields and then stopping the "Save" action if the validation fails.

Hello,

In Customization manager, on the field property page, - To get there click into a field, right click and select properties or F4 in that field.

The BLANKERR property can be set to True. This will make a field "required" in the screen. This will not validate the value you put in there, but it will expect the user to input into that field.
