InfoPath Dev

 In an existing InfoPath 2013 form that I am working with, there are edits in the custom form that uses a custom list. Which is ok. The problem is it is hard to find all the errors if there are a lot of errors.

What I would like to do is have an error message display in red under every column where errors are located after the user hits the submit button.

Basically I would like to have some way of allowing the users to find all there error messages a lot easier after they hit the submit button.

Thus can you tell me if the above request is possible? If so can you tell me and/or point me to links that will have all the error message(s) easier for the user to find after they enter data in a column or they hit have save button.

Hi Jassie,

Data entry errors are indeed hard to locate. The easiest way to show an error message is by using a calculated field with a red text font. Set this field to be hidden to the condition desired (i.e field1 is not blank and matches the pattern desired). If you wich the field to be an optional field, then hide the error message if the field is blank or if it does not match the pattern desired.

I hope this makes sense.
