Also, remove the "Cannot be blank" attribute from the node. You will be using only this custtom data validation.

In step 4 use "false" instead of "true".

Sorry Matt,

That's not what I am looking for...

I have a check box called "nofixedabode".
I have an address textbox which is set as a mandatory field.

Is it possible that when the check box "nofixedabode" is True,
that the address textbox will no longer be set as a mandatory field.

I don't know if this can be done, might just have to work around it.

cheers
Micky

Hi Micky,

Yes, this can be done with custom data validation.

1. Double-click the node in the data source taskpane.
2. Go to the Validation and Event Handlers tab.
3. Click Add, add the condition "AddressField" "is blank"
4. Click And >>, add the condition "CheckBox" "is equal to" "true"
5. Type an error message
6. Click OK until you are back on the view.

Working with mandatory fields

Quick Query, (this sounds stupid)

I have an address field in a form that I am using, which has been set as "cannot be blank".

Is it possible that when a value is added into a different field, that this "cannot be blank" box can be unchecked for the address field?

Thank You
Micky
