Re: Disable the validation prompt when a user is saving a form

Thats all good points, however, none of the fields on the form are marked as required, and nothing is highlighted with red outlines.

When I go to tools->Go to Next Error it moves the form around slightly but doe not highlight anything.

When I go to tools->show error if returns a dialog box that simply says "**"

What I really want to do is ignore invalid hidden fields, is there any way to turn validation off?

I suspect you have a hidden field or a field on another view that is required.

There is no way to disable that error without making the field not required.

You may need to add additional conditions to your field validation to not create the error while your users are using the form.

When the error appears, go to Tools, Go to Next Error and you will see where the validation is failing.

Hi and thanks in advance for the help.

I have made a BIG infopath form that the users will download and work with on their local machines.

They will be editing/saving this form multiple times over and every time they save, they are prompted with the following message:

"This form contains validation errors. Errors marked with either a red asterisk (required fields) or a red dashed border (invalid values). Do you still want to save it?"

My problem is that there are no field on the form that are visibly missing or invalid, yet I cannot make this prompt go away.

Is there any way to disable this prompt?
