Hi,

I am using FM Pro 7 on Windows 2000 and Internet Explorer 6. I have designed a database and published it through IWP. I have included some validation conditions and appropraite error messages in the Validation Part while designing the database table. When i do manipulation on the published database, when i do some error entries it shows system generated error messages instead of the messages i defined previously in the database.

I want to display my own error message on this published IWP Web Page.

Please help me.

Unfortunately this is one of the limitations of IWP; it doesn't display custom validation messages. Nor does it display custom dialogs.

To get around this you'll want to run a script that checks the data of records after they are created / edited. You can then write your message out to a global field and return the user to an editing window with that global field displayed.

Clunky, but not too bad.
