Hi,
I have an action button that checks certain fields in my form to see if they are filled in. If not, I use the @Prompt directing the user to fill in the fields one at a time. Unfortunately, some of the fields can be hard to find, so I was hoping there is a simple way, using formula language, to display the field (as I check them) in such a way that the user can fill them in “on the fly”.
I hope I made my question is clear.
Thanks, Paul
Subject: You could use @DialogBox but why not keep it simple
Hi, Paul. When you validate your fields in the action button, you could use the @DialogBox function to bring up a form that has the same named field as the field on form you are validating. When the field is populated in the dialogbox, you can setup the dialogbox so that it passes the value back down to the main document. I must ask you this though why not just use field input validation formulas and use @Success and @Failure in those formulas. Then, if you use @IsValid in the action button it will trigger the validation formulas giving the user custom failure messages and upon field validation failure, it will leave the cursor in the field having the validation failure so the user can easily fill it out.

Hi Dave,
Your alternate method sounds better! I will give it a go. Should have known there was a better way…
Thank you, Paul
