Help - Change validation error message

Reply Contact

I am using validation rules in my forms and publishing them to Sharepoint 2010. When using validation rules, I know you can change/modify the messages used by InfoPath but once published SharePoint first uses its predetermined error message. See below,

"The form cannot be submitted because it contains validation errors. Errors are marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red, dashed border (invalid values). Field or group: my:Email Error: Still Need Help? Click Here

Click OK to resume filling out the form. You may want to check your form data for errors"

My question is, how can change/modify this text to show something different? SharePoint uses a pop up and displays this message but being able to change this would be ideal. Any help would be much appreciated.

I understand this is done thru SharePoint but since InfoPath and SharePoint go hand and hand, I figured I'd put some feelers out and see if anyone has suggestions.

Normally I go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\INC\<languagenumber>\IntlCoreStrings.js to change error messages, but this one doesn't seem to appear there. I am afraid you are out of luck. If you find a solution, please share it :)
